The DMC World Championships will change their rules for this years world championships to create a more level playing field.
After exhaustive discussions between the DMC international branches and plugging in to the opinions of DJs and turntablist supporters around the world, the DMC have laid the platform for the ‘open’ competition with the following mandatory rules in place:
2006 DMC Rules
TURNTABLES: Technics turntables only.
MIXERS: Any mixer - no effects.
STYLUS: The Ortofon range.
DMC has already responded to the turntablist society by agreeing that the event would not allow digital products in the belief that such technology, whilst potentially opening new creative possibilities, also gives advantage to the DJ who can afford such products.
The DMC will provide SL1210 Technics turntables and traditional Technics SH-EX1200 mixer. DJs wishing to use alternative mixers should take their own to the event having informed the organisers of the event in advance. No mixer featuring effects are to be allowed. Full rules on the DMC world site.
