The history of turntablism spans nearly 65 years. Like any other instrument, the turntable went through many stages & variations as an instrument. Nothing revolutionary occurred in the history of turntablism until 1973 when Bronx DJs Afrika Bambaataa, Grandmaster Flash & Kool Herc showed what could be done with turntables. Kool Herc invented what's called"breakbeats," which is when a DJ fuses together different parts of songs into a musical collage. Grandmaster Flash is known as the DJ who expanded the most upon Kool Herc's breakbeats discovery to invent more turntablist techniques. In 1977 an entertaining piece of turntablism history took place when Grand Wizard Theodore invented the "scratch." 14-year old Theodore was messing around with his record player when his mom walked in his room. As she walked in, Grand Wizard stopped the record with his fingers to listen to her while unconsciously moving the record back & forth over the same drumbeat, creating a scratch. The "scratch" has been a major component of turntablism ever since. From 1979 through the early 80s, DJs drifted out out of spotlight as commercial hip-hop musicians chose to use live funk bands on their recordings instead of DJs. Turntablism reached mainstream in 1983 when jazz musician Herbie Hancock performed the song "Rockit," with GrandMixer D.S.T. Kids across the world were captivated by Grandmixer D.S.T. as he scatched a record to the beat of the song. With over 20 years in the game Mixx Mafia Djs rule the carolinas from the clubs, to the streets,to mix cds, to internet radio.
