10 Sep 2007. Performing to a crowd of 1500 screaming spectators at the finals of the Hennessy Artistry DJ Battle, Johannesburg local DJ Sai and Mother City spinner Codax took top honours at the Hennessy Artistry DJ Battle, winning the house and hip hop genres respectively.
Originally hailing from Soweto, DJ Sai defeated his rivals DJ Tallman from Durban and Ian Brink from Cape Town to win the house section, getting the crowd at Soweto’s Backroom venue on their feet with his pumping house beats. Capetonian Codax used his inventive scratching and keen crowd control to defeat Jozi’s Milkshake and East Coast DJ Pay-Per-Kut to take the hip hop genre.
“It’s been a long journey for these DJs,” says primary hip hop judge and local music icon, DJ Ready D. “They’ve beat some stiff competition to get to this point but both of them were hungry for the win. Their original mix of style, technique and sheer energy got them serious points with the judging panel and I hope this is another step towards a successful DJ career.”
DJ Sai and Codax now join a host of well-known music personalities who have performed in the name of Hennessy Artistry. With international superstars such as Kanye West, Carl Cox and The Strokes putting their names to the global music campaign, Hennessy Artistry promotes the art of mixing various genres, blending the talents of the world’s top artists.

Everything published made a lot of sense. However,
consider this, what if you were to write a awesome headline?
I ain't suggesting your content isn't solid., however what if you added something that grabbed people's attention? I mean "One of the top dj's eMzantsi" is a little boring. You should peek at Yahoo's home page and see how they create news titles to grab viewers to open the links. You might add a video or a related pic or two to get readers excited about everything've written. Just my opinion, it could make your website a little bit more interesting.
