There are a lot of stories about the birth of jazz and the beginning of rock n' roll, but hip-hop has founding fathers: 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 a living legend in every sense of the title.

Grandmaster Flash continues to tour the world, in festivals, clubs and venues. He now has his eyes and ears on this new craze-dance music, which he adds to his legendary repertoire. His live show is a must-see for any true hip hop fans!
