In association with Canadian Music Week, DJ Cosmo is crowned Canada’s most versatile DJ.
Among the ten DJs who rocked the house at CiRCA on Friday, March 13, DJ Cosmo not only impressed judges with his stage presence, creativity and track selection, but played music puppet master to a crowd of thousands, walking away with a $2,500 prize purse and title of the nations most versatile DJ.
Second place and third place finishers, DJ Mensa from Toronto and DJ P-LUV from Vancouver, represented in fine style, but it was Haligonian DJ Cosmo who couldn't be touched on this night. Cosmo has been working at making a name in the Halifax scene as a proven party rocker DJ through his unique blend of old school and new technology. A true lover of vinyl, DJ Cosmo is a crowd pleaser mashing up his Hip Hop style with classics and electro beats.
Some of the industry’s top talent, A-Trak, Neil Armstrong, Team Canada, Mat The Alien and Jokers of the Scene judged the DJs and evaluated each performer based on creativity, track selection, skills, stage presence, and audience response. Ten stops, twenty-eight days and over 7,500 people layed down some fancy footwork with the 80 DJs performing in the ultimate live party competition, Red Bull 3Style National Final gathered the top DJ from each stop with hopes of becoming the most versatile DJ in Canada. The challenge: deliver 15 minutes of sonic infamy that incorporates a minimum of three genres of music. The constant: the crowd.
While the art of the DJ continues to evolve it remains true to one objective: rock the party. From Jimmy Seville first dropping the needle at the Loyal Order of Ancient Shepherds in 1943, to Kool Herc breaking the hard funk in ‘70s Bronx, to A-Trak moving bodies and Kanye around the world, Red Bull 3Style follows the continuum of beats to feet.
