With over 12 countries participating this year, local judges Metro FM's DJs Sphe and Naves of were under pressure to select the best DJ to represent South Africa in Las Vegas, in the battle to find the ultimate global DJ. Six finalists including DJs Kevin King, Buke, Zawadi, AnkleTap, Dino Bravo and Bryn were selected as the freshest talent from a list of over 80 entries. The finalists rallied their fans on all social media platforms to vote for them online.
Following the rigorous voting selection, the search drew to a close at the Miller SoundClash SA Finals held at Taboo nightclub in Joburg. The winner was selected by a combined vote from the celebrity judges, public votes using an online platform as well as the public in attendance.
Having launched his career as a student at UJFM, DJ Ankletap has risen from hosting the graveyard shift to hosting one of the biggest radio shows in the country. He is the voice giving youths direction with hilarious banter every morning on YFM.
DJ Ankletap will represent South Africa at a live on-site DJ battle at a premier Las Vegas super club in late September 2015.
