Past team champs include X-Ecutioners, Beat Junkies, Allies, and Invisibl Skratch Piklz (Q Bert, Mix Master Mike, and Shortkut).

The United DJ Mixing School was founded in 1993 with the aim of Uniting the finest DJs in Australia to form one of the first structured DJ School. Within this time we have experimented and undergone changes to come up with a perfect formula for the students to obtain optimum results, have fun, make contacts, and most of all learn from the experiences of many established DJs. After 10 Years of operating the most successful and longest running DJ School in Sydney, the crew has branched out to Melbourne for the long overdue expansion of the School.Within the last decade the United DJ Mixing School has invited many international guests to teach the art to the young aspiring DJ's of Australia. Guests have included legends that started this whole DJ Culture such as Kool Herc, Jam Master Jay (RIP), and Jazzy Jay.. Members of DJ Crews that have advanced the art of turntablism all over the world such as The Beat Junkies, The Allies, Invisible Skratch Picklz, and The X-Ecutioners. Internationally acclaimed Producers such as DJ Revolution and Lenny Dee. And almost every World DJ Champion including D.J. Cash Money, Q Bert, Roc Raida, Noise, A-Trak, Craze, Plus One, Dopey, and Rafik to name a few. Special thanks to all of you for sharing your knowledge with the upcoming DJs of Australia.
