After DJ David's second victory in the early 90's, DMC acknowledged that digital technology was allowing DJs to becoming increasingly creative and decided to allow the competitors to incorporate this equipment in their performances - as long as it was live. DMC also introduced the teams with a maximum of four in each that gave birth to pioneers such as San Fran's Rock Steady DJs with Mixmaster Mike, DJ Apollo and a young Q-Bert who was looking for revenge after taking the runner up spot in the 1991 World Championships. 

Their performance revolutionized the Championships proving that there was no need to use any digital technology at all, creating their own original composition from samples that were specially compiled on vinyl. This tool would become standard in future events, now known as 'Battle Breaks' and an essential record used by all competitors today. Words are not enough to describe how I felt that night. All I wanted to do was get home and start practicing, something I always do after seeing great DJs play.
