At this year’s PLAYLIST Retreat, six of the attendees were selected to compete in an impromptu DJ battle. Nick Bike, EASE, DJ Jaycee, Trayze, DJ BYTE, and Damianito competed to win a pair of Rane TWELVE controllers and a Rane SEVENTY-TWO mixer. The battle was hosted by DJ Zimmie, and the judges chose EASE as the winner.

Each contestant was given a USB drive with a selection of songs from which they had to build their sets. This meant that the DJs had to come up with new routines, as opposed to relying on material from previous battles.

DJ set times:

Nick Bike: 1:40
EASE: 5:48
DJ Jaycee: 11:17
Trayze: 17:28
DJ BYTE: 23:35
Damianito: 29:12

During his time at the PLAYLIST Retreat in August, Vancouver DJ/producer Nick Bike hooked up with Serato to perform a set for their In the Mix series. The Red Bull Music 3Style VIII Canada finalist put down 13 minutes of mostly hip-hop and nu-disco, including several of his edits. His set, which was filmed inside DJ Jazzy Jeff’s basement, features the track “Night Lights” from his freshly released Night Lights EP.
