The names of those competing are being kept a closely guarded secret, said Tony Lin, DMC Taiwan event manager. "The compet-itors will find out on the the day of the competition who they are up against."
One name definitely in the running is last year's winner E-Turn.
The northern elimination round will take place at Plush (www.plush.com.tw) on July 15 at 4pm, entrants from central and southern Taiwan will do battle at Seduce (www.seduce.com.tw) in Taichung on July 22 at 4pm and the final will be held at Luxy on July 29 (www.luxy-taipei.com).

For those who haven't caught soccer fever and are willing to miss the World Cup quarterfinals of England vs. Portugal and Brazil vs. France tomorrow, the biggest party this weekend is Galaxy in Kaohsiung that begins at 7pm.
Organized by Spunite Production, Freakuency, Icon, TriProg and Whirl, it's been advertised for months and has an impressively diverse lineup.
The party is being held at the Kaohsiung Commercial Exhibition center, a 4,860m2 venue. Tickets are NT$1,000 at the door, which is a bargain for what the southern crew are serving up: Naughty By Nature (who will play at Luxy the following week), MC Hotdog, Witness, MC Davi, E-Turn, Satan, Mango, JonB and Jody Wisternoff from Way Out West, to name just a few.
