Out of seven other DJs, Matthew Wood aka DJ Creeasian, placed first and will move on to represent Edmonton at the National Finals in Toronto, November 12th, 2011.

RPM asked DJ Creeasian how it feels to be named Edmonton's Best Party Rock DJ? Especially considering how much of a huge competition the Red Bull Thre3 Style is. He answered:

"This is a HUGE accomplishment and it means a lot to me as an artist to be recognized.  There's nowhere but going up from here on. Forever a student, always learning."
