Grandmaster Flash at The Espy, 6th Jan

There are a lot of stories about the birth of jazz and the beginning of rock n’ roll, but hip-hop has founding fathers too: one of them is DJ Grandmaster Flash. He was the first DJ to physically lay his hands on the vinyl and manipulate it in a backward, forward or counterclockwise motion.

He invented the Quick Mix Theory, which included techniques such as the double-back, back-door, back-spin, and phasing. Basically, what we call a DJ today is a role that Flash invented. The genius behind iconic party tunes like The Message, Superappin, Freedom and You Know What Time It Is, Flash is living legend in every sense of the title.

Grandmaster Flash will be playing  an exclusive Summadayze sideshow at The Espy on Friday Jan 6 where he will be joined by DJ Dexter and Boogie Blind!
