Empire Media Inc is once again set to host one of the biggest clashes on local shores with five of Guyana’s deadliest DJs and Selectors.
The event dubbed “Armageddon” will be held on January 28, at the Sports Hall tarmac, Homestretch Avenue, Georgetown, and will see Deejays Antzman, Magnum, Dellon along with Selectors Charlie, Face, Clive and Hot Rass compete for $500,000, a trophy and bragging rights.
January 28 promises to be a night of musical slaughtering, when the Deejays and Selectors meet head to head. It’s kill or be killed!
It is no secret that the entertainment/dancehall industry has been dying for an event such as this one; something that was proven with the large attendance at the Art of War DJ Competition. Armageddon will serve to further reignite the fire of this art form in Guyana, with the hope of including regionally and internationally acclaimed sound systems and DJ’s in the near future.
There will be four rounds in the competition: Round one is called “Good over Evil – God Bless Round” and will cater for 10 minutes for deejays to work their boards. In the end, one person will be eliminated.
Round two is called “Release the Beast – Anything goes”. Again, deejays will have 10 minutes to perform and at the end, one person will be eliminated.
Round three is referred to as “Crossing over – Hip Hop/Rap” and the Final Round is called “Last day – Singer Artiste/Vocal Artiste Only * Tune for Tune”.
The Armageddon sound clash will be judged by the fans while the rules will be enforced by the host or emcee. The crowd will be asked to judge by show of hands. Not by voice or noise. The emcee for the event is Malcolm Ferreira.
Notorious International Sound will provide the early juggling. Tickets for the event costs $1500 but if you purchase two, the buyer will get one complimentary.
Tickets will be available in the week of the event and can be uplifted at Nigel Supermarket Depot, White Castle Fish Shop and Korner Kick Restaurant and Bar.
Gates open at 19:00h and the Clash begins at 21:00h.
