Who will triumph as the West Coast champion of the DMC turntablist competition tonight? And--perhaps even more interesting--what interesting tricks of the turntablist trade will he or she bring to the tables? 206 Zulu somehow finagled to host the left coast heat of the international championships here in Seattle, at the Vera Project. The only kind of scratching Seattlest does personally is of the "where it itches" variety, and DJs from all over the West Coast will be competing, so this should be a real treat.

Judges: DJ DV-One, DJ Dyce, DJ E-Rok and DJ Tre. [update: DV One won't be there, unforrtunately! Thanks to Kitty Wu for the correction]
