With just under a week to go before the first of the 2009 heats kicks off, you can bet theres plenty of DJs huddled over their crates, beavering away at perfecting their set lists for the night.

Rumble in the Jungle is a Drum and Bass DJ competition for New Zealanders, showcasing superb mixing talent amongst both established and bedroom DJ’s alike.

Now 8 years deep in the NZ dance music scene, Rumble in the Jungle is set to excite crowds and give up and coming DJs the exposure they deserve once again.

Last year’s winner, Import, finally took top spot after entering 6 previous competitions and has since gone on to release a mix CD with Empathy recordings and supporting international DJs around the country.

The event is unique and offers a good time to both the DJs and the crowds alike - don't miss out on your chance to be part of the 2009 competition.
