Dj cheese was a major player in introducing scratching & battling in europe & forced traditional mix dj's to raise their standards & be more versatile...
Dj Cheese was a guest judge in the 2011 dmc usa dj finals & no- one took the time to get an interview....
memories.... 14yrs old.twin cassette crown ghetto blaster,stu allan(souled out) manchester uk...they were the daze..............my hood getting bombed out with graff and bits of lino in the skool yard
It's amazing to think about how hip hop progressed from the 80's into the 90's. There's only 5 to 10 years separating what sounds basic, to what still sounds modern even though it was made 15 years ago.
One of dance/street musics changing moments, this mix bred a new style of DJ/MUSIC just listen to the year b4 seamless mixing and the year after Alot more cutting up and transforming et al.
Awesome upload, awesome set, awesome days.
A very big thank you for taking me back to my teens.
i had this on cassette from the DMC ..but it snapped a long long time ago. This is a moment that changed D.J-ing forever in the U.K. Shame Jazzy Jeff didn't make it over the following year with the "transformer" scratch....but Cheese's performance is legendary.Well done for finding this.
@chairmangee, I had the same tape. Recall some Dutch guy bitching that he thought Cheese wasn't really DJing (Orlando Voorn???), but I think it was on Robbie...........(I forget) Sunday night soul show on Radio 1. Played it to death on my Walkman. Just stunned to hear this again 20 plus years later. A legend of a mix.
@anthonyv6612 from the words of Cut Master Cool V (Biz Mark's cousin), Cheese should be comin' home from incarceration very, very soon (within months)! They suppose to B doin' somethin' togetha...
true indeed..this bro. is one the O.G.'s of the SCRATCH !!! not reckonized enough because of what? but i know cheeze know the way..& some of us still rock that way..
Awesome, man/.. Cheese was the bomb.. (and still is my opinion.) remember listening to this live in '86, nice to see the vid/ awesome.. was djing back the days also. - Niice post..;)
WOWOWOWOWOWO :D mmmazing all the way. The break down and interpolation of the beats into "the show" is aww inspiring. Most dj's can't break it down like that these days..most.. and he's using pretty new records for the time and they have all become bonafied part of turntablism.
i remember hearing a scratch mix of singing in the rain back in the day, and i aint never heard it since- anybody know what it was called? it was a live lp.?
F%&$# all those wanna be dj's using damn computers and CD's to supposedly rock the clubs.... This is true DJing suckas'.... Two turntables and a drum machine... Technics 1200's the best! True Oldskool hip-hop....
Ohh My Days I remember Tapping this off the radio back in the Day think it was off the Jeff Young Show. Wore the Tape out in My Car. Never New there was video footage to this. A True Pioneer on The Turntables
@Craftus1 same as mate..- man, - Im in England was on live 1am on the radio,,- we used to have tape recorders back then.. hey. l;) heh. Was the Westwood show early days in Uk. cherished that tape for years/. Peace ;')
YO -- this is NOTTINGHAM HIP HOP cru - big shout to the GREATEST MC - SCORZAYZEE right now.....MY STYLE DJ PHASIX .....SONNY all the RAVEFM CRU...NOTTS CRU -- peace SONNY
wait a minute. I had the History of the DMC video a few years ago and Tony Prince said that there was no recording of the first DMC championship, How or where did you get this? i'm just asking, i would love to get a bopy of this
@pureevil77 I can remember it almost ver batim, reckon the tape is in my folks loft somewhere......."and that's why I don't like it......" in some Goofy Dutch accent. Very funny.
Tracks used in the mix- Al-Naafiysh(the soul)- Hashim. Pump me up- Trouble Funk (Maybe- Grandmaster Flash). Do or Die (Bed Sty)- Divine sounds. The Show- Doug E Fresh. .........& missing from the mix is- Here we go- Run DMC.
As Djing goes this is the 'holy grail' of footage, legend went that it was never filmed so I'm amazed to see it, i've had the audio on cassette for years & know it inside out but to see it too's crazy, thanks for posting, its worth noting that it was regarded 'uncool' to have decks anything but 'regulation' (tonearms to the side, mixer in middle) so Cheese loosened that idea and as tricks multiplied and mixers shrank Djs started turning the decks sideways(battle style) to tighten the space
@jorgef4 Doing it the same way Premo does it except he woks the mixer from the other side. Nice to see that DJ's can do it that way also. Didn't Flash use three turntables & two mixer for a short time in his career during the Electra years? Now that's tight. Wish i knew how he did it. I would think you would need two seperate headphones & that could get confusing.
I have always used my setup the same way.....Im nasty with the left hand...but cant do the same with the right.....and Im right handed. The only other thing I did different was that I han both turntable arms facing top down shortening the distance fromt the turntables to the mixer.
that shit is hard with those tables in cases so WIDE!! dam that was tight!! i saw Cheese in london with WORD OF MOUTH! never knew this 86 joint existed!! I've had those DMC catalogs since the early 90's and they never had this in there !
