International Dj Association derives directly from the International Turntablist Federation (with its headquarters in San Francisco) which was for many the international organisation gathering Djs from all around the world It’s main goal was to promote turntablism, that is the usage of gramophone as a music instrument. ITF had its agencies in more than 15 countries. However, in the year 2006 the federation suspended its activity for the establishment of IDA – International Dj Association with its european headquarters in Munich. Establishment of IDA was the cause of the necessary changes that were made to make the ITF competition more attractive and modern. In the year 2006, federation’s agencies operating all over the world, decided to make a reform which lead to the foundation of a new organisation named International DJ Association which started its activity on the 1.1.2007.
