Peavey Electronics celebrated the winners of the 2018 Ahhyeah AMPLIFY DJ Championships, crowning the winners on Sunday, September 30, in front of a packed house at GoldBar night club in Lower Manhattan. This year, Unkle Chip successfully defended his reign as DJ Champion, and walked away with a prize pack worth more than $3,000. Philadelphia’s DJ Domino came in second place and New York City Champion FIINEST placed third.
Competing DJs were given 10 minutes and the challenge to play different genres of music while keeping the crowd going. Song selection, creativity, technicality, and crowd reaction all factored into the judging. The winners were selected by a panel of judges that included two-time DMC USA Champion DJ Esquire, DJ Wonder, Eddie B Swift, DJ Boogie Blind, and DJ As 1 (Guitar Center Spin-Off National Finalist (2005) and Kame World Classic 2017 North American Champion). The event host was TOKE1 with support from Peavey artist DJ NME.
Peavey delivered the goods with RBN™ 215 subwoofers, PVXp™ 12 DSP tops and an FX™2 16 mixer for the front of the house.
