Ultra DJ Spin Off

Normally, we avoid pimping our company's shit in this column (so as to avoid becoming soulless corporate shills and all), but we figured y'all would let us slide on plugging our annual Ultra DJ Spin Off on Friday, February 15, at Myst, 7340 East Shoeman Lane in Scottsdale. A half-dozen of P-town's top turntablists will utilize their own original mixes to show off their beat-juggling talents and scratching skills in a massive DJ battle royale. Consider it a contest of survival of the phattest, with the winner nabbing a primo spinning gig at next month's Ultra Music Festival in Miami. The competitors include DJs Sonique des Fleurs, Tranzit, D'Strick, Soloman, Hazardous, and Casper. Last year's winner, Sol Martinez, will also perform a headlining set. The beat battling begins at 10 p.m. with a $10 cover.
