The International Turntablist Federation (ITF) was an organization which held a series of DJ battles during the rise of turntablism in the late 90s and early 2000s. The ITF is notable for introducing the concept of category competitions.[1 ] The categories included advancement, scratching, beat juggling, and team.[2 ] [3 ]
The ITF eventually evolved into the IDA,[4 ] but during its height in the early 2000s, the ITF was considered a close second to the DMC [5 ] in the world of international DJ battles. Many of the winners (e.g., A-Trak , Craze , i.e. Merge , Rafik, and C2C ) were prominent members of the turntablist community and were champions in other competitions.[6 ]
