Scratch the Ultimate DJ (Numark®) recently announced LA’s DJ Hymn as winner of their wildly popular contest, Who’s the Ultimate DJ? The contest was announced in November 2009 and called upon DJs nationwide to film and submit videos of themselves scratching to one of the featured tracks in the Scratch video game. Additionally, DJs were also invited to film their submissions at The Scratch DJ Academy in front of an intimate audience of top Numark executives and noted professionals such as DJ Nu-Mark and DJ Babu (Beat Junkies).

However, in the end it would be the judges: World renowned accomplished music producers Mix Master Mike and Quincy Jones III who would narrow hundreds of entries down to three finalists, eventually choosing DJ Hymn (who was filmed scratching on the track “Slacker” by Tech N9ne) as The Ultimate DJ. Prizes include top of the line Akai and Numark equipment. DJ Hymn will also have his video featured on Scratch’s website and social network pages (Youtube, Twitter, MySpace, Facebook), as well as AllHipHop.com.

“This is a dream come true on so many different levels,” says Hymn. “Not only am I humbled to be chosen as winner by two people I greatly admire, I was given the opportunity to compete amongst my peers – in my element. There’s so much talent out there and I got to be a part of it…up close and personal.”

Look out for DJ Hymn’s unmistakable, hi-intensity sound on the coming video game, “Crazy Train” for Nintendo DSI coming spring 2010.
