Skratch Bastid Defends ‘Fake DJing’ Disqualification
DJcity has reached out to Thre3style judge Skratch Bastid for his take on G Smooth’s latest public statement and video addressing the controversy that stripped him of his 2016 Australian Thre3style title last week:
G Smooth was disqualified from the competition after Thre3style judges determined much of his set was pre-recorded. In a lengthy Facebook post, Smooth asserted:
“On the night of the Australian Red Bull Thre3style championship on July 1, 2016 at Boney, my set was NOT pre-recorded. I performed my set LIVE.”
Smooth followed his post with a FB Live video showing him perform the would-be winning set in it’s entirety.

DJ Cable Presents ‘The Best Of UK Funky’ Mix
London’s DJ Cable is back with part three of “The Best Of” mix series, this time it’s all about UK Funky! Download or stream the mix below. Here’s what Cable had to say;
“Drake sampling Paleface & Kyla’s “Do You Mind” was also one of the inspirations for digging into my crates and putting this together. This mix contains over 30 tracks, some of which you may or may not know, and even though it’s not technically Funky, I’ve also included “One Dance” in there because everyone seems to want to hear Drake, no matter what type of event it is!”
