2002 US & Canadian Finals, filmed July 26th, 2002 at the El Rey Theatre, LA
The All-Star Beatdown is the first DJ Battle founded and organized by DJs for DJs since the Supermen Crew ended the New Music Seminar battles in the early nineties. Hoping to add a sense of integrity to the voting process not found at other battles, all judges at The All-Star Beatdown, read their votes publicly immediately following competitors' performance. This creates a more honest and open event, dispelling any rumors, conspiracy theories or politics within the voting process.
