They recently came to Po Na Na night club in Lincoln as part of their Longuistics night. This is a Hip Hop event that happens on the 2nd Friday of every month within their 'Back to My Roots' feature.

DJ Woody who's real name is Lee Woodvine is actually from Burnley near Manchester. He started Djing in the 80's when he bought himself a pair of decks at the age of 15. A few years later after winning the British Championships he became the ITF World Champion in 2001. Since winning his awards he has been djing all around the world.

DJ Dopey, otherwise known as Jon Santiago is originally from Toronto. He was inspired by the music and his brother who used to buy and play the tunes. They started off by using their family record player to mix with, which got them into trouble with their parents. DJ Dopey was also the ITF World Champion in 2003 and he has won other awards since then.

K-delight is a DJ/producer from Brighton. He was on tour with this team because he won a competition for a DJ magazine. He has just completed his first album.

ITF stands for International Turntabalist Federation. The ITF championships is like boxing on the Hip-Hop scene and they do battle to see who is the best under pressure.

There were quite a few people watching these DJs go to work and at one point both DJs were flexing their skills simultaneously.

The crowd were also entertained by break-dancers who were doing flips and floor spins both old and new styles and it wasn't just left to the experts with lots of people having a go.

All of the artists are working on other projects like albums with bands that they've formed and will continue to tour around the world over the next few months.
