In my opinion, the Red Bull Thre3 Style DJ competition is truly the world’s best and more relevent DJ showcase, displaying what it REALLY takes to be a dope DJ in the 21st Century. I’ve been blessed to be involved with them for several years now, and have witnessed some incredible DJing. Check these joints for my dudes Skratch Bastid and Big Once.
Red Bull Thre3 Style competitions are held all over the world, with the regional winners coming together for the World Finals – this year held in Chicago. The line-up for the 2012 Red Bull Thre3Style has been released, and they’ve done it again. The week’s festivities includes shows with Nadastrom & Drop The Lime, DJ-Numark & Gaslamp Killer, DJ Z-Trip & Skratch Bastid, Dillon Francis & Flosstradamus, DJ Hedspin & Big Once, and the final night’s show that is Cosmo Baker (me) along with my Philly brothers ?uestlove and DJ Jazzy Jeff. Me, Jazzy Jeff and Skratch Bastid will also be judging the competition. So all in all, kind of an epic week. Let’s get on down…
Here’s a quick Q&A that I did with the fine folks at Red Bull Thre3style while out at the World Finals in Vancouver. They pick my brain a bit about DJing, methods, philosophy, and what the Thre3style event means to me. All in all it was pretty fun to do, and mostly just pretty sweet so I could use this dramatic “action shot” on my site.

Red Bull Presents The Red Bull Thre3Style World Finals – Day One
Featuring The Rub Smalltown DJs
& The Boyscouts
@ Bar None – 1222 Hamilton St. – Vancouver, BC Canada
A little bit more about the Red Bull Thre3Style events, as told by my wax-slinging Canadian brother, the Skratch Bastid…
“What do Z-Trip, Just Blaze, DJ Premier, Pete Rock, The Rub, DJ Nu-Mark, Peanut Butter Wolf, Smalltown DJs, Team Canada, Vinyl Ritchie, The Freshest, Faction Sound Crew, The Goodfellas and Skratch Bastid have in common?
Look up.
We are 3 weeks away from the week-long party that will be the 2nd Annual Red Bull Thre3Style World Championships. DJs from all over the globe will hit Vancouver with their best tunes & slickest routines, no doubt bringing along some top secret, last minute magic in an effort to bring home the gold. The event has grown this year, and the finals have been reorganized to give the people, and the DJs, the best club experience possible…” – Read more about it here
