Grandmaster Flash

Strut Records, NYC

Much like the mythological Trojan War, the beginnings of hip hop music are shrouded in fable and legend. We do know this much however - Grandmaster Flash was there. He not only pioneered the hip hop style of DJing, but he invented many of the foundational techniques of the trade. Back-cueing, beat juggling, and record scratching just to name a few. Combined with his rap group, The Furious Five, Flash went on to massive early 80s chart success on the Sugarhill label. Singles like The Message and Scorpio broke new musical ground, not only in the hip hop world, but also in the burgeoning electronic scene. Flash kept active throughout the 80s, releasing records both as solo artist and with the Furious Five. Since then, Flash has gone on to DJ across the globe, playing his infamous blend of party classics - all delivered with his signature cut-and-paste style. Listen here as he rocks the main stage at Metamorphose in Japan.
