If you've ever heard the phrase "irie vibes," you're probably familiar with the connotation it has of feeling great and other positive denotations. So it's only right that Brazilian DJ Irie (that's his real first name) by way of the Netherlands is professionally trained to make you feel all kinds of good with his music. DJ Irie is technically sound, winning the Dutch DMC Championship five years and placing second at the Worlds in 2005. Artistically, he's been acting resident cinematic DJ (VDJ) for the Dutch theater company, Ish, and touring the world with them as well. DJ Irie was recently joined by DJ DNS, an OG in the game in the Netherlands. He's won several DMC Championships and was the 2012 Red Bull Thre3style Champion. Besides performing with superstars in multiple genres, he's also gone back full circle and helped teach classes for the next generation of DJs.
Today's edition of Show and Prove is a special one that showcases the skills of two notable DJs as one team. With DNS on the left and Irie on the right, they create their own version of Dr. Octagon's "Bear Witness." They take turns scratching in various samples as well as playing the background instrumental. They do a solid job of not making the song too dense with noises, making it flow like one DJ with two turntables. They take it to another level at the end, rapid fire alternating a beatbox sample to close out the routine.
