DJ Herc

DJ HERC AKA Clive Campbell "I;m not stealing all their music. I'm using your drum tack, I'm using this little "bip" from him, I'm using your baseline that you don't even like no fucking more."
Using a detournement banal, he takes individual peices of artworks (songs) and using them as building materials, to create his own work. DJ take other works, and mix them, scratch them, and carefully craft a playlist that fills their own musical creative ideas to the best of their abilities. DJ Herc is "According to All Music Guide, he was the originator of break-beat DJing, where the breaks of funk songs—being the most danceable part, often featuring percussion—were isolated and repeated for the purpose of all-night dance parties (AMG [1]). Later DJs such as Grandmaster Flash refined and developed the use of breakbeats, including cutting."
