How do you know when you're one of the best DJs in the world? Well, winning the DMC World DJ Championships three times in a row — which no one has done before — is a pretty good indication. DJ Craze has done all of that and more, including releasing two of the most popular battle records ever and touring as Kanye West's DJ on his Glow in the Dark tour. When you can stand up with the most mouthy man in hip-hop and refuse to be outshone, you know you've arrived. And when you have the ability to transcend traditional electronic genres, flowing from pop-heavy breakbeats to deep, dark drum-and-bass in the same set — without losing anyone on the dance floor — then you're probably here to stay.
