  JJJ's Newsletter #10 - Go back to News

Comin' at ya with another fully loaded newsletter!! It's a busy time of year, and we have much to share with our loyal readers.

A big thank-you to Chilkoot Lager, Unitech, RUSH FM and the Capital Hotel (of course, in cooperation with Triple J's) for the wildly successful "Chilkoot Lager Twist Off". This battle of the DJs took place at the Capital Hotel on Saturday, November 19, 2005. The crowd was ripe, and the DJs pulled off what can only be described as one of the best throw downs in Capital history. The bar was bursting at its seams! We had seven DJs compete: Moses, DJ Nemo, Synapse, Elixir, DJ Dirty D, DJ Jonny Gel and DJ Johnny Fantastic. The evening was emcee'd by the one, the only, DJKJ (who also our headlining act)! Judges included ODJ, DJKJ and Darcy (the Yukon Brewing Co. rep). It was a phenomenal evening had by all, as demonstrated by the spillage of the dancefloor into the seating arena! Many have called it the single best Saturday night in Capital history! DJ Nemo won FIRST PLACE, and DJ JONNY GEL was a close second. Honourable mentions go out to Synapse! Prizes included SHURE needles, hoodies, t-shirts, gift certificates and of course, respect and street credit!! Props out to all of our audience members for creating such an amazing vibe! Don't forget to come out every Saturday and support our striving DJs. Thanks also to What's Up, Yukon? for that killer 2-page spread! As a result of the exposure in your zine, CBC TV interviewed Jordi, Kevin Jack (DJKJ), Jon Gelinas (DJ Jonny Gel) and Galen Ashley (DJ Nemo) this morning (Friday, November 25th) and we will be featured in tonight's CBC newscast at 6:30 pm, Channel 10.
