DMCWORLD AWARDS 2015 – Chris Karns

The titan of the turntables smashed it on 4 decks with DJ Q-Bert this year


Tune of 2015

Gonna have to go with “Helicopter” by TWRK. Those horns get me fired up every time! Solid track all around

Your best DJ moment of 2015

So many to choose from! I would have to say playing a set on 4 turntables with the legendary DJ Q-Bert was definitely a highlight. Plus it was at Beta Nightclub in Denver, which is one of the best venues in the world. The sound system in there is AMAZING!!!

Guilty pleasure track of 2015

Drake, “Hotline Bling”. I really loved that song when it first came out. Then my girlfriend played it at the house about 200 times in a 24 hour period and ruined it for me

DJ of the year

Craze pretty much dominated the scene with his “Realdjing” videos

Label of the year

Hot Mom USA

Best breakthrough producer

I’m kind of digging Oshi. He’s a young dude with a really fresh style, big banging drums, and all around musically solid

Best DJ argument of the year

Ritchie Rufftone vs. Ruckazoid! This happened recently, but it has been really entertaining. I’m friends with both guys, so I’m not taking sides

Most annoying record of 2015

Any song that uses the squeaky bed spring noises, the girls voice saying “what” or any other over used vengeance sample pack sounds

Best piece of studio kit launched in 2015

I’m good with the gear I’ve been using. Nothing really came out this year that changed the game from what I can remember

Biggest loser of 2015

Grandmaster Jay. Was that this year? I can’t even keep track anymore….

New Years Resolution?

Push my art form to new levels. There’s a lot I want to accomplish, so I plan to continue being happy, healthy and alcohol free!!!
