A Rising Star’s Victory
Adam Vance, a rising star in turntablism, achieved a significant win at the esteemed DMC World DJ Championships, a competition challenging DJs since the 1980s. We explore Vance’s path to success in the Philippines, guided by DMC Philippines, an organization promoting turntablist talent.
The Road to Victory
This was Adam Vance’s first DMC competition. He was thrilled to participate, regardless of the outcome. He placed fifth in the elimination round, competing against skilled DJs such as Jan Musa, Encee, and Badboy. While confident in his skills, honed through dedicated practice, Adam prioritized enjoying the experience.
Balancing Act
One significant challenge was balancing his DJing work with intense practice. Juggling five gigs weekly and finding time for practice required immense dedication. The financial constraints of foregoing gigs made this particularly difficult. Adam’s passion and desire for self-improvement drove him forward.
A Unique Approach
Adam’s unique routine, developed with guidance from renowned battle DJs Encee, Beatjeff, Nikita, and Basstard, set him apart. He incorporated beat juggling alongside scratching, showcasing a well-rounded skill set. Having turntables at home and DJ Kai’s S9 mixer provided crucial tools for perfecting his craft.

His performances often feature new school hip-hop sets enhanced by guitar effects, thanks in part to collaborations with the VIBE CHECK crew. He plans to compete globally in the DMC World Championships, recognizing the need for intensive practice to represent the Philippines well. He also aims to promote DJing as an art form and a vital part of hip-hop culture, sharing his knowledge to elevate the DJing community.
