Manchester bad man Mikey Don doesnt have the word Don in his name for nothing.  For those of you that don't know Mikey has been in the business of spinning for a long time. He was involved in the infancy of the UK hip hop scene as a member of the rap group Krispy 3 and has been a member of the Axis sound system crew since the 90s.  As well as all that he has had a long running show on Manchester station Unity Radio, which recently gained an FM licence.  This year he started a brand new night in Manchester which aims to bring back the Soundclash culture which was so big in Jamaica back in the day and also in England when people started building their own systems.   "Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is" takes Manchester heavyweights and pits them against each other in a battle of Tuneage through a number of rounds to find out who is the best selecta.  We've already seen Rich Reason (Hit and Run) and Illum:Sphere (Hoya) clash each other and this month its time for veteran, unsung hero and friend of example DJ Pale to clash Metropolis head honcho Prophecy.


Here are the RULES & REGULATIONS of the clash that each dj MUST abide by :-

1) No dj can tell each other to ‘S*** Your M*****!’ – but a record/tune CAN say it!!!

2) No dj can playback a tune that has already been played during that individual clash. This mistake will mean that the dj forfeits the round where the mistake is made.

3) The winner of each night will be decided by a POINTS SYSTEM via the crowds reaction to how they played in each round – & where each round is worth ONE POINT.

4) The structure of each clash for each dj will be as follows:-
a) 2 x 15min rounds
b) 2 x 10 min rounds
c) 1 x 5 min round
d) 5 tunes each in the ‘TUNE FOR TUNE’ segment.

5) Any dj that breaks ANY of the rules will also lose ONE POINT!!

6) In the event of a TIE in points, there will be a SUDDEN DEATH round & this round will be decided by ONE EXTRA TUNE FOR TUNE EACH. (thus taking ‘Point 4d’ to 6 tunes!!)

So get down to Roadhouse on the 4th of February for some clashment.  Especially since this one is going to be an almighty clash.  The scene has been whispering about this one since it was announced. So don't miss it!!!
