As a partner with the WA DMC DJ Championships, Rappfox is excited to bring to you the 2018 Perth heat following a successful 2017.
In the lead up to the competition, we spoke to 2x WA DMC DJ Champ Bace Kadet on competing in the 2018 competition, aiming for the threepeat hat trick and the announcement of the return of 3x WA DMC DJ Champ DJ Midsole to the competition.
Bace, you been practicing hard for this year’s DMC Perth Heat?
Hey Kylie! Super exited for battle season , I’ve been practising heaps! Trying to add in some new elements within my set to show the judges my versatility and risk taking ability!
What does your practice sessions entail?
My practice sessions entail going over my set and refining which ideas work and which don’t, and then expanding from there - I always do my scratch and juggling drills as a warm up and then move onto the technical side of my routine from there!
How do you think you’ve improved/skilled up from last year?
Since last year I’ve been working on my beat juggle patterns and expanding my “vocabulary”. I’ve come to a point where I realised my scratching was at a much higher level than my juggles and I wanted to change this and balance out the skills a little more.
What can we expect from your set?
My set you can expect a mix of new and old, both in song choice and technique wise. My main goal is to showcase as much of my skillset as possible in the short amount of time, and this year I have tried to put some extra work to make sure of this!

Bace Kadet competing in last year's DMCs
If you win this year, it’ll be a threepeat for you, how you feeling?
I’m feeling confident! It’s always such a fun time of the year and at this point I’m just happy I’ve managed to come so far. The 3peat would be amazing, but continuing to be involved and having fun will always be my priority!
And finally it’s just been announced that Midsole is back for this year’s heat, how do you think that will affect the competition?
Oh it will affect it a hell of a lot! Having a ex 3 time champ come into the mix will not only make it a much tougher battle to win, but it will also make all the DJs entering be forced to bring their absolute A-game. I always said I wanted him to come back and battle and I’m super happy to finally be going toe-to-toe with him!
Thanks for your time Bace, and all the best for the WA heat in a couple of weeks.
Thanks for the questions Kylie and hope you are well!! Bring on this Sunday and good luck to all!
