The Japanese have been world leaders in technology for a while now--not just creating it but mastering the usage of it. DJ Hi-C (read: Dee Jay Haishi) is a testament to the creative and technical aspects to that mastery. As part of the duo, Kireek, he's won multiple competitions, including the DMC World Team Finals, and has released a wildly successful mix titled, Enter The Dragon.
Recently, he put up his set from the DMC World Finals from this year and you don't want to miss it. It balances between heavy, dark instrumentals with airy, light ones. The scratches and beat juggles are technically clean and also create a new song with what is available, a staple technique for DJs of his caliber. It's always good to see a DJ pay homage to the roots of Hip-Hop and in this case, Afrika Bambaataa & Soul Sonic Force's "Planet Rock."
You can keep up with DJ Hi-C on his Twitter and his Soundcloud. #REALDJING
