Man vs Machine pitted the amazing beatbox talents of Kid Beyond against Salt Lake City's best scratch turntablists, Steez and Diggabeatz. Steez and Digga warmed up the crowd, finishing out their set with an improvised jam made from layered elements using four turntables and Serato Scratch.

When they were done, they went head to head with Kid Beyond, who had a beatbox answer for every scratch, breakbeat, backspin, and drum and bass loop they could throw at him. After a while, the turntablists bowed out and let Kid play his set... but there was no clear winner.

Well, I suppose there was... The audience! It was the best show I've seen all year. I was blown away, and looking around, there was no shortage of jaw dropping in the audience. What a show!
