DJ TOP 10
MASTERMIND ROADSHOW pioneered the scratchin’ ‘n rappin’, cuttin’ ‘n struttin’ hip hop package idea in London, the crew currently consisting of Herbie, Dave, Max, KC, CJ, DA, Jam and Macho Moore. Listening to the early American “mastermix” records they originally assumed that all the mixing was done live, without tape edits, and thus set up an elaborate multi-deck system on which several jocks worked simultaneously to build up their own marathon quick-cut megamixes. It wasn’t until they’d got their technique down pat that they realised this is not how the records are remixed! Catch ‘em if you can, and you’ll hear —
