IDA World DJ Championships

IDA World DJ Championships International Dj Association ITF had its agencies in more than 15 countries. Rules and regulations:

Each IDA chapter organizes IDA National Championships.

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 establi

shment 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:

I've been honored with the most important Polish Hip Hop Award – a very special, one-of-a-kind Golden Popkiller for Lifetime Achievement in Hip Hop Culture.

Real DJing matters, and that’s what we’ve been doing at Zooteka and IDA World for over 25 years. I organized my first DJ Battle in 1998, my first international competition in 2001, and I’ve been running the IDA federation since 2007. In 2026, Poland remains a turntable powerhouse; IDA turns 20 and continues to inspire the DJ battle world.

We were the first to implement DVS, the first to stream our events live, and the first to introduce Scratch & Open Categories. Since 2007, Poland has won the most IDA titles, and Polish DJs are considered among the best in the world.

Thank you, , for recognizing my work 👊

This award means a lot to me and will have a special place in my home. Thanks to the entire IDA Fam Worldwide and all Zooteka fans for your love and support ✌️

Stay True To The Game of Turntablism!
