International Dj Association derives directly from the International Turntablist Federation (with its headquarters in San Francisco) which was for many the international organization gathering Djs from all around the world It's main goal was to promote turntablism, that is the usage of gramophone as a music instrument. However, in the year 2006 the federation suspended its activity for the establishment of IDA – International Dj Association with its headquarters in Krakow. Establishment of IDA was the cause of the necessary changes that were made to make the ITF competition more attractive and modern. In the year 2006, federation's agencies operating all over the world, decided to make a reform which lead to the foundation of a new organisation named International DJ Association which started its activity on the 1.1.2007. This day is considered to be the start of a new significant era in the turntablism history. Winners represent their
countries and the World Final. They compete in two categories:
The Technical Category
It is an ordinary adaptation to the Advancement Class. Both,
Juggling and Scratching must have been presented by the DJ in their sets. All qualified Dj’s present their 3 minutes sets. Only 4 goes to the semifinals. They battle each other with 2 x 2 minutes sets. The winners go to the strict final or
batlle for a 3rd place (another 2 x 2 min set). You may use Serato/Traktor during your set. IDA was the first federation to allow such a equipment during the battle. The Show Category
Contains Teams, DJs using effect tools and DJs using Finals
Scratch etc. The important thing in the Show Category is, that the competitors have
to present a set, which is close to a song. The main criterion in this Category is
musicality and creativity. All Dj’s / Teams present 6 minutes show. There is no battle
mode in this category. IDA RESULTS:
