So there’s a group on facebook dedicated to dj battles, open to anyone to enter as long as you’re a dj: http://lasalle.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2443181456

I decided to have a go with another dj who happened to be from Leeds. We decided on doing 20 mins each before passing the mp3 back to the other person to mix from. Mostly, as you can tell, the tunes stay more breaks than anything else, but I tried varying it up a bit throwing some electro in as well. After it was all said and done, this is what we ended up with: an 80 min battle mix back and forth across the pond
