He's one of the best ever! Trust me, I know because I was the host of the Saturday Night Live "Ain't No Jive" Chicago Dance Party that featured the Hot Mix 5.
My favorite parts of the video are the parts with him on stage spinning live on turntables using vinyl in front of the huge crowd! Today most of the dj's are computer phonies who hide behind a laptop cause they have no REAL DJ SKILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mickey, just one of the greats who inspired me i started mixing at age 12(back in 82) and almost 29yrs later i'm still spinning and still loving it!!!
Love seeing it done old school style on turntables! Keep rockin the house Mickey! I'm 100% vinylist since 82, and keeping it that way!!! Long Live Chicago House Music!!!
Mickey you ROCKED THE HOUSE that Saturday Night at the House of Blues WBMX Reunion! Bringing back the old days with so many old friends that I met there that I haven't seen since the 80's.
Thanks for that. I bought a few of his records but never heard any of his "Turntablism" before.

@Blackholes81
As far as I can hear it's Transdance by Night Moves or a least a version of that classic track. Hope that helped.
