The first DMC World Mixing Championship 1986 Orlando Voorn

Some history about the legend, Orlando Voorn came in 1st. place twice for the Dutch mixing championship in 1986 & 1987. He later went on to the DMC World mixing championship where he came in 3rd place being crowned the 3rd best world mixer. After placing third Orlando made a smart ass comment "Is this a mixing or a scratching competition???" The crowd went nuts an applauded ,after seeing the reaction from the crowd, Tony Prince snatched the mic from Orlando's hands and kicked him off the stage, That's really what happened!

@ Fukademous,indeed i grabbed the mic out of Tony Prince his hand,and guess what buddy he still remember's it and get's angry about it.lol..Dj Cheese was a hell of a scratcher but that was not my point at the time. I did some scratching too but mixed more as they called it Disco Mix Championship so that's why i made that comment and got aplauded for it by many people since Dj Cheese did not mix one record. After that they should've changed the name to DISCO SCRATCH CLUB since nobody mixed;)

The DMC DJ Championship started at DMC's first DJ Convention in London in 1985. A young Londoner called Roger Johnston won the first event .

It took America's DJ Cheese in 1986 to bring the best out of the turntables by scratching his way to DMC's first ever World Title. An unhappy runner-up, Holland's Orlando Voorn grabbed the mic from the events MC and founder Tony Prince and bellowed the immortal word's "What is this, a Mixing Competition or a Scratching Competition?"

Actually Tony Prince asked Orlando did he have a few words he would like to mention in which he did!

Geweldige tijd! Orlando, Juan Elmzoon, Mac de Hey. Avro's driemaal doordraai, Robin "de indiaan" Albers, Peter Slaghuis.. Oefenen op drie plaatjes strak in de mix op sl1200's, kom je in de studio.. staan daar Technics SP15's aaargh!! Voorrondes in een discotheek in Bergum (Friesland) waar het plaatselijke klompenpubliek het niet zo had op die "bliepiesmuziek" en tegen het podium begon te trappen met hun klompen. De finale in Locomotion Zoetermeer.. If I could turn back time...

Orlando Voorn also said that anybody could do what DJ Cheese did, which he tried the year after with a somewhat pale imitation of some of the DJ Cheese tricks like the handcuffs some really awefull scratching (Whats your name...dj fix...)and a outfit taken straight from the furious 5 during their leather period =)

That said his 86 mix was awesome

[Mcawsome7]

Yo, whats the first song that he plays?
