DJ Cheese

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

DJ Cheese (born Plainfield, New Jersey) was one of the first DMC mixing championship DJs and appeared in the UK tour with Run-DMC.

[edit] Accomplishment

Dj Cheese is usually considered as an important character in the world of turntablism. Effectively, his winning set from the UK Disco Mix Club (DMC) 1986 competition set incorporated scratching, which initiated this totally different approach of Dj'ing. Eventually, his innovation modified the whole meaning of dj battles, turning the DMC into a competition strictly focused on turntablism (mainly scratching and beat juggling), which had a significant impact on people, helping them to perceive turntablists as musicians.

He has released EPs with the group Word Of Mouth entitled 'Coast to Coast' and 'King Kut', and Z-3 MC's 'Triple Threat'.
