The First Annual “DJ Spinoff”

-Brandi Baker

On Friday, January 31, the
University of Northern British
Columbia held the first annual
DJ Competition and Dance, in
the Wintergarden. Eight young
DJ’s all took centre stage
mixing a fifteen minute
routine, while the audience
rated the placements by cheers.
There was a large variety of
kinds of music; varying from
acid jazz, hip hop, techno, and
rap. Each DJ pieced together
their favorite tunes, in hope
that the audience appreciated
their particular choice of beats,
words, and songs. At the end
‘of the night DJ Able, a.k.a. Roy
DJ Sane, a.k.a. Steve Feltham,
DJ chuckee, a.k.a. Keven
Goodearle, and DJ Ask, a.k.a.
Jon Marshall where placed up

front by the audience’s cheers:

placing those four as semi-
finalists. The first place

winner, judged by the audience
was DJ Sane for his unique
routine, and for mesmerizing
the crowd with his talented,
quick hand movements as he
scratched vinyl. The other four
DJ’s that took place in this
competition were DJ Jelon,
a.k.a. Justin, DJ Jizz, a.k.a.
Ken Janzen, DJ Zero, a.k.a.
Matt Besler, and DJ T-Yoda,
a.k.a. Troy Derrick, Each DJ
had different qualities that
made their particular piece
different from the other
participants, this in fact made
the judging a little more tricky
because id depended how the
audience interpreted their
particular pieces, and if they
liked the sound of combination
of mixes. It is-hard to say if this
was a completely fair contest
only to fact that even if a DJ is

really talented, the audience

FASHION:

This article is for vou
Women:

Men may be created equal- but
not all women. Ladies...Here
are some tips on buying jeans
that best suit your body type.

Well ladies, I know how you
feel. That is feeling about the
whole purchasing jeans thing.
You don’t want a pair of jeans
that make you look fat, out of
style, the wrong size, or just
the wrong name brand. I know
how it feels to want to buy a
perfect pair of jeans, but then
becoming so frustratedthat you
leave the mall. right away
because they don’t have the
perfect pair. Well, I have done
the leg work for you ladies.
Hopefully, you won’t ever
have to stress about buying
jeans again. I will list the body
shapes and describe the best
suited style of jeans to best fit
your body type.

Hourglass -
Your middle is tiny, but jeans

‘with a roomy waist and tapered

legs will create the illusion of |
a long, slim, straight line.

Big Butt -
Always go for the biggger
than- average back pockets.
You need a pair othat’s not
only roomy through the hips,
but allows the back pockets to
distract some bulk.

Short -

Get them low on the hips,
anything to elongate your

- upper body. Your best bet is to

try to find the right length in
your pair of jeans. Only
because hemming may make
your legs look even shorter.
(trust me I know... )

No Hips -
Create a curvy look, instead of
a shapeless one. Buy jeans that
ride low on the hips,
continuing straight to the
ankle.

Average - Take your pick
honey... most jeans are
designed for your body. Just
keep up to date with what’s

hot, and what’s not.

may overlook that, because
they didn’t like the type of
music that was played.
nevertheless, the variety of
DJ’s did enable the audience to
be kept interested. As well
creating a variety atmosphere
for the students that were there
only for the ‘dance’ part of the
night. Even though it was a
contest the DJ’s looked at if
more as a fun event that they
got to perform at. The Beta
Upsilon Fraternity sponsored
this DJ Festival, and prizes
were supplied -by, Phillip
Morris Chaos Sound and Light,
P.G. Free Press, The Max FM
94, and CKKN FM 101. Thank-
you to all involved in making
this event possible for the eight
talented DJ’s to break down,
and show their stuff. ;
