The 2010 Rumble in the Jungle won by Titts Magee of Dunedin

The 2010 Jansen Rumble in the Jungle, held at the San Francisco Bath House, Wellington on October the 9th, was won by a Dunedin local, Chris Young - aka Titt's Magee.

His 2nd time in the national final, Chris was incredibly happy to take the top place out of the eight DJs from around the country who made the final. The path to taking the national championship was first through selection into the regional competition, and then taking 1st place at the Dunedin club Bath St in September.

He then progressed through 2 rounds in the national final, before duelling it out in the final round with Yannick Westall, DJ Yanik, a Wellingtonian who was favoured to win by the parochial crowd. The judges, composed of JMC, a previous Rumble champion, B-Line and Stu from State of Mind, took nearly half an hour to decide the winner, with the final shootout being too close to call for the 400 strong crowd. Until ultimately, the MC announced that it was Titts Magee's overall technicality that put him above Yanik.

For his efforts, Chris takes home a very sizeable prize pack, including the main sponsors Jansen offering of an Allen & Heath Xone:42, some custom moulded ear plugs from Pacificears.co.nz, and a spot to play at the huge New Years Eve festival, Phat11, held in Inanguhua. He also is the proud holder of the Rumble in the Jungle trophy for the next year, that will forever be emblazoned with his name.

Congratulations Titts Magee!
