On June 2nd, 2007, The University of Oregon Journalism students at Allen Hall Advertising helped host the second annual Bach Remix, a venue created by KDUK and the Oregon Bach Festival. Three DJs put their skills to the test with a piece of music from the master of old school: Johann Sebastian Bach. The contest was created to introduce Bach to a younger generation and spark interest in attendance to the Bach Festival. Allen Hall advertising held auditions at the University of Oregon ampitheather, and narrowed it down to three DJs: DJ DV8 (last year's champ), DJ Smuve, and DJ Reeflex. The contest was held at the Oakway Center Heritage Courtyard in Eugene. Each DJ brought their own unique flavor to the table, but it was DJ Smuve who won the attention from the judges. He wrote his own music and beats so it would flow with Bach's classical symphony. The mixture of his cool beats with the soft and at times raw sound of violins created a truly unique sound that inspired the audience and judges. DJ Smuve left with the grand prize of $717 and the 2007 Bach Remix title. We had a great time working street team and getting the crowd pumped during the contest.
