Whilst most of his international opponents once again concentrated on their mixing abilities, it was left to New Jersey's DJ Cheese to exhibit the full extent of hip hop DJing which was then known as scratch mixing. There were a bold few who tried this new style of DJing but it was only DJ Cheese who could bring the full, raw street style of intense, rhythmical scratches and dynamic cutbacks that is the blueprint of today. Like many hip hop bedroom DJs, we all rooted for Cheese as he was undoubtedly our ambassador and his victory gave all the unrecognised and unacknowledged DJs out there the first opportunity to step and up be counted.
