Italy’s Damianito has been crowned the Red Bull 3Style VIII World Champion. The battle took place on Sunday night at the Juliusz Slowacki Theatre in Krakow, Poland.
Damianito delivered an impressive routine despite only finding out Sunday morning that he would be competing in the final as a wild card. He was energetic, pulled off some clean tricks, and creatively used a talk box during his set.
The Rome native, who serves as DJcity’s Italy representative, was left speechless afterward. He simply thanked everyone and said that he had “always imagined” himself being there.
Damianito faced some stiff competition in Belgium’s DJ Cross and Canada’s Cam B, who took second and third place respectively. Also competing were Chile’s Diego Zapata, Japan’s RINA, and South Africa’s Ryan the DJ.
Judging the battle were DJ Jazzy Jeff, DJ Nu-Mark, Craze, Skratch Bastid, and Nina Las Vegas.
We will share Damianito’s winning set as soon as it becomes available.

Watch: Stonic Performs Indie-Influenced Routine
Italian DJ/producer Stonic is notorious for taking his turntablism videos to another level.
Last Spring, we shared his “Lego Scratch” routine which featured a crew of Lego turntablists in a “stop motion” animation. We also shared his 2015 visual in which he performed inside the world of Grand Theft Auto V. While his latest video is not as elaborate, it’s still pretty creative.
In a new routine for DJcityTV, Stonic performs in front of a neon-lit backdrop using Capital Cities‘ 2012 indie pop single, “Kangaroo Court.”
