DJ Fuzz, DJ Victor G, DJ Goldfish, DJ Blink… these are all names many partygoers in KL are familiar with thanks to the annual Pioneer Digital DJ Battle, which is back for its 11th year running! (It is undoubtedly the most anticipated music and DJ talent discovery event in Malaysia.)
The competition was actually started in Orlando, Florida by a group of party-crazy and audio-savvy Pioneer ProDJ execs; and soon exploded into becoming an international global event with its own Asian DJ Battle.
Today, the event is one of Malaysia’s biggest DJ competitions and continues to attract a large following of seasoned audiophiles, aspiring DJs, clubbers and party-goers. It has become a prominent stage in uncovering new DJ talent, as well as encouraging Malaysian talent into achieving recognition in the local and international DJ scene.
