If that video isn’t convincing enough for you to join us tonight to see the legendary DJ Craze tonight for Super Friday’s at Mansion Miami, it’s probably better off if you stay home. Not only is he a five time DMC World DJ Championship winner but he is also the only solo DJ to claim the trophy three times consecutively from 1998 to 2000. This video of Craze performing on the new Traktor Scratch Pro 2 displays his amazing skill as a DJ/Producer and his background that includes Hip-Hop, Drum & Bass, breaks, and turntablism. We suggest getting there early to avoid long lines and please contact your nearest MusicDef rep for guest list/table reservations.
