The Needle 2 The Record DJ Competition was arguably the most impressive showcase of the entire 2011 A3C Festival! The competition, presented by Traktor and Skullcandy, and produced by [Kimberly Stewart](http://kimberlystewart.vpweb.com/default.html) of Absolutely Divine Events, sported an impressive roster of DJs from all across the country competing for cash, DJ equipment and more.

Watch below as DJ Gravel and DJ King James battle it out in the first head to head of the competition. One of these DJ's was crowned the champion of the entire competition. Can you guess who it was?
