It’s the People’s Choice! Watch & Vote as Canada’s Best Party Rockers drop their Finest Fifteen

After a month of banging local qualifiers from the Pacific to Atlantic, Red Bull 3Style came to a close with a cosmic boom at CiRCA in Toronto. The concept was simple - ten DJs from Canada’s ten largest cities drop their best 15 minutes hitting on at least three genres. In the end, making the biggest noise was the man from the smallest city, as DJ Cosmo of Halifax won the night’s hearts, feets and minds with a genre-smashing, smile-baking set. But that was then, this is now. Bust out your best set of eyes and ears, as we present ALL 10 sets from the night’s finals. Have a watch, drop a vote, make a comment - let the People’s Choice be known!

  49. dilly Says:

    Just because he’s your friend, doesn’t mean he’s the best.

  50. MDarlington Says:

    Makem killed it

  51. xianzhong Says:

    I can see why DJ Cosmo won, I’m surprised though since he sounds more like a small club hip hop DJ whereas this club looks like a big Euro dance style club and I’d expect someone with DJ Makem’s style to win it.

  52. Joy M. Says:

    Tough choice, but I still think Cosmo is number one!

  53. stylesw0n Says:

  62. S.Dubb Says:

    All the dj’s who competed that night were awesome. But for versatility, style, and presance…P-Luv effin murdered it!!! And lighting the blunt on stage…in Toronto!!!! Shieeet!

  63. Susan K Says:

    All sounds good - so hard to choose

  64. Mount Real Agents Says:

    Wow. Cosmo Slaughtered everyone to pieces! COSMOOOO!!!! KEEP MURDERIN’ DEM!!!

  65. John Early Says:

    Wasn’t Mat the Alien in on this? He not make the top 10?

  66. mike Says:

    The judges made the right decision by voting Cosmo #1 because he was obviously more skilled than anybody and more versdatile than these small time “rave club” DJ’s were. (Makem can’t scratch for shit. sorry but stick to the glowstick music & beatmixing. You’re a “raver”.. not a turntablist)

  67. Erin Says:

    Gotta love Cosmo - in more ways than one….

  68. Shaun Says:

    DJ MAKEM killed it. Whoever this mike guy is, clearly dont know shietttt.

  69. DjSugarDaddy Says:

    next year watch out for DJ Sugar Daddy from Saskatoon

  70. Jessy Says:

    Why isn’t Skratch Bastid nominated? He is definitely Canadas best.

  71. Brittany Says:

    Love dj mesa

  72. EricF Says:

    MAKEM MY MAIN MAN, YOU KILLED IT BRO
    KEEP IT UP MAN

  73. rockz Says:

    Jessy Says:
    March 23rd, 2009 at 7:03 am
    Why isn’t Skratch Bastid nominated? He is definitely Canadas best.

    >>>Bastid was a judge
    I think?

  74. NikAlison Says:

    Yea this Mike guys obv. on some weird drugs.
    A raver? Ahahahahaha ifff you only knew the SHIT makem is capable of, you’d be taking that back real quick.

    Cosmo is whatev.
    Makem is the ultimate,.

    So stop being jealous and just accept that lol.
    He is a “turntablist” maybe just not your preference of choice in music.

    But when your making sweet transitions with all sorts of different types of genres.. than EVERYONE’s happy.
    North Carolinaaaaaaaa, come’on & raise up, this ones for you.. this ones for us us us!

    Like Makem always does in this town, I go for mine, now throw ya hands up in the skyyy.
    Haaaa We gettin t.dot MONAAAAY, caaaaaaaalifornia love..

    Xo

  75. MM Says:

    Yea Red Bull! Yea remixes and shit! etc, etc

  76. mike Says:

    “NikAlison Says: So stop being jealous and just accept that lol”

    Jealous of what? hahaha COSMO WALKED AWAY WITH EVERYONES MONEY. EVERY LAST DOLLAR OF IT! Maybe you jealous ravers can redeem yourself by picking up some of those 1 dollar bills that cosmo threw in the crowd. Those were probably meant for crystal meth heads like you. LMFAO! GTFO raver boi.

    And Shaun can suck a dick. Straight up.

    All in all, Cosmo won the title and the money so your little vote on a website don’t mean shit anyway. All that cash is sitting in Cosmos pocket right now because he ripped it and your jealousy just makes it more laughable. fruity ass raver DJ’s. keep listening to your little faggy little glowstick beats. It obviously didn’t win you ANYTHING this year did it? THOUGHT SO! LOL

    EAST COAST STAND UP & TAKE EVRYONES MONEY!!!! BITCHES!!! :)

  77. S Says:

    im confused Bryx plays all new fresh cutting edge up n coming party music and cosmo plays a buncha top 40 edits n wins??
    im predicitng it was a mostly east coast based juding system cause Bryx got robbed
    next year we throw this in the west where the intelligent crowds are cause these people are 10 years behind

  78. Dion Rego Says:

    WOW “S” has some strong words

  79. Deekaye Says:

    Bryx blew it…. P-LUV was nice…Cosmo’s intro was hype

  80. DaFaze Says:

    Please S, you telling me Bryx was cutting edge? He was hitting just as much old school jams as everyone else. I’ll admit that he’s got some creative mixes going on but he’s not reinventing the wheel here. Cosmo just rocked a better party!

  81. Alex Says:

    I thought that Makem was the best. Kept me going right from the start… But I did like Slipmat’s intro.

  82. Frosty Says:

    Makem is the shizzle. He destroys.

  83. Yeaysayer Says:

    Is there really some kind a east - west battle lines here? You really think a bunch of Toronto judges are bent for some guy in Hali because it’s a shorter plane ride to Toronto??

  84. Hamish Says:

    Best of luck guys

  85. sleepybear Says:

    good stuff p-luv

  86. Zek Says:

    Makem all the way

  87. slim Says:

    wtf is this mike kid talking about whens the last time a raving dj played raise up fuckin retard … all In all it was a great show put on by all the dj that came out….its tough to judge a competition like this on one night one dj might win on the other someone else…my love goes out to dj makem cuz hes my boiii!!! all I gotta say mike is for some shitty ass website that don’t mean shit you sure have wasted your time posting on it about 20x more then anyone else get a life and stop bragging about how cosmo took everyone’s money and go get some for yourself lol

  88. Danny V Says:

    These are all cheesy as hell! Club music in Canada is decades (and in some cases infinitely) behind the Europeans. No one did anything innovative and a lot of the cuts were really really bad.

    Red Bull has been really cool to hold their music academies all over the world and have showcased some truely amazing underground talent. The stuff in this contest is the opposite of the music they have been supporting.

  89. Wynston Says:

    Fin-s is number 1

  90. DJSODA Says:

    HOW COME SLIPMAT IS SO LOW ON THE LIST, I THINK HE RULES!

  91. Shaun Says:

    mike is possible the worst chirper i have ever seen.

    “Those were probably meant for crystal meth heads like you. LMFAO! GTFO raver boi.”
    are you like 12 years old?

    go suck on cosmos dick some more.
    with all those dollar bills you picked up you can buy him some flavoured condoms to make it better for u

    not saying cosmos didnt do a good job. just saying this mike guy is as dumb as it gets.

  92. Fuse Says:

    MAKEM!

    And I’m one of those assholes who usually turn a nose up at dance-friendly/nightclub music … his set made me want to dance!

  93. Merisa Says:

    wow!

  94. Constantine Says:

    DEEJAY MAKEM

  95. thedrake Says:

    nice

  96. Yeaysayer Says:

    Slipmat is low on the list because his set starts with too much boom tsss rave crap.

  97. Qbert Says:

    DJ P-LUV is the bomb! This is Canada’s finest by far

  98. Shfty Says:

    Man this was a disgrace to Canadian Djs…..Poor mixes…..bad timing….Horrible back spins(Makem) and overall Gahbage….. Truly embarrassed to even have listened to this crap.

  99. Dougernaut Says:

    I am totally on the P-Luv train. Glad to see he placed

  100. Randal Says:
