Why a DJ battle in Da Nang?

CONFIRM: in Charlie's words. Proposed: Da Nang has more good DJs than it has stages. First Sundays with thewavedn showed how many people come out for local talent. The battle gives new DJs a real crowd, a real system and a reason to bring their best set every month.

thewavedn, also known as The Wave, is a Da Nang community crew. They also run First Sundays, a separate soul, R&B and hip-hop night on the first Sunday of every month at The Roof.
