The atmosphere was electric as the beats per minute pulsed through The Village music venue on Thursday night last. PlayStation Portable hosted a party to celebrate the end of the WipeOut Pure DJ and Producer Competition, which saw one lucky DJ whose mix is to be used in the latest edition of the game WipeOut Pure, exclusively for the PSP.
The three finalists were judged by acclaimed international DJs David Holmes and Johnny Moy. They were to be joined by Seb Fontaine on the decks but unfortunately he had to cancel on the day. Not to worry though, because Moy, Holmes et al blew the roof off regardless.
The WipeOut series has long been famed for its fast-paced sci-fi racing action. The latest edition of the game, WipeOut Pure, includes a soundtrack with enough beats per minute to match the game's speedy intensity. The tracks are mainly modern electronic music, showcasing some top names from various genres, including Aphex Twin, The Chemical Brothers, Royksöpp and Tiesto.
The three finalists were Colin Flynn, Exit 15 and Philth (aka Philip Boyle). It was a tough call but the boys from Exit 15 scooped the prize on the night. Comprising of DJ Fitz, DJ Doss and Tu-Ky, Exit 15 can now look forward to immortality and acclaim.
The young and funky crowd partied till the early hours and included models Carmel Mannion and Jude Nabney, Trish Fallon of 1st Option, Maryse Fitzpatrick of Playstation, Nicola O’Riordan of Urban Outfitters and Richie Stokes, Cathy O’Connor and graffiti artist Killian Walsh.
Since Sony launched its eagerly anticipated handheld entertainment system on 1st September 2005, over 115,000 PSP's have been sold in
