DJ Perseus - 2000 ITF Western Hemisphere Beat-Juggling Finals

Some of the long-buried footage of the ITF Western Hemisphere Category Finals has finally been uncovered! Shout out to Chris Burns who filmed this classic battle for finally releasing the footage. Pasha and I will have new podcast episodes soon discussing the vagaries of this historic and forgotten moment in DJ history.

Perseus was solid. It was nice to see someone being inventive rather than formulaic. Although some may say it wasn’t anything we hadn’t seen before.

Hello Michael! I just listened to Tyler the creator “Yonkers” for the first time. I could have sworn I’ve heard a DJ do a routine that sounded very similar to the beat. It could have been a freestyle scratch session but I’ve heard it before. Hoping you knew! Thanks

damn thats some rare footage, you uploading more? been wanting to see this full battle for so long

this is the battle that happened in Vegas, right? I have it on VHS. This if when the club closed down before the battle was over, so they had to film the Team sets in one of the hotel rooms, right. I remember the Finger Bangers had a 6-man team crushed into the room.

yes, pasha and i will have a podcast coming soon covering this strange event :)
