Roger Johnson - DMC Champion - 1985
This Track Was Posted On : Thursday 13th March 2008
The DMC World Championships may have officially started in 1986, but if we go back a year to 1985, DMC's first ever DJ competition was the DMC Technics International Mixing Championships at The Hippodrome in London. An all European affair that saw the UK's Roger Johnson take the title at what was at the time London's largest nightclub. Back then, the DJs focussed on their mixing ability with the rare venture into the hip hop style of scratch mixing, what today we call the world of Turntablism. Roger was awarded the DMC Champion bomber jacket, the DMC Gold 7" Trophy and a VIP trip to New York. Since this was the Championships in it's infancy, there isn't any video or audio recordings of Roger's set, but there is a radio studio performance available which should give you an idea of the music, scratch and mixing level back in the day.
