Cutmaster Swift (UK) - DMC World Champion 1989 -- Winning Set

[@twinzy7569]

THATS MY DADDY HAPPY FATHERS DAY❤️❤️❤️❤️

Top DJ

[@reginaldd.paperstacks194]

Hope he's still cuttin

[@gglreallysucks5512]

Man such big respect to ur dad

[@djsupermanslaughter]

Awesome💪🏾

[@Troutbasher]

Chad Jackson, DJ David and Swifty, all epics and true winners; it's a shame modern day turntablists aren't as inventive.

[@speakertreatz]

I'd say what Cutmaster Swift brought to this was a UK twist, the faster breaks including the switch up to 45rpm and some of the grooves that are still held as key records of 89, like It Takes Two and Sleep Talk. This year was crucial to the development of the breakbeat scene in UK which grew into hardcore then jungle. But the tricks are all a re-run from Cash Money the previous year and much more sloppy. His dance is the most memorable thing about this routine!

[@damonrichardson8329]

I'm from Philly land of the djs one of the best dj performances ever he's using the same mixer dj cash money used a year earlier shout out to all the u.k. djs

[@djrecklessdmcofficialdmcdj610]

THIS SET INSPIRED ME BIG TIME!! NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THIS STORY! BUT I STILL RESPECT THIS GUY BECAUSE HE INSPIRED ME TO BECOME THE CHAMPION I BECAME BECAUSE HE WAS ONE OF THE FIRST PROPER DJ I SAW DOING SPIN BACKS AND HE INSPIRED ME TO BECOME A DJ!! BUT I GOT SO GOOD I BEAT HIM IN THE WORLD FINALS TO BECOME 3RD BEST IN THE WORLD 3 YEARS LATER! HARD WORK PAYS OFF! X

[@mr.x3906]

1989 my God this was classic dj-ing man

[@michaelparker3709]

To give the guy his props, Swift was awesome! On this set though, life served him up a turd which he done his best to polish. Nothing went right from start to finish but he just went with it and done the best he could. Even the bloody chair wouldn't work. He ended up trying to use a set up that was meant for use from a high point, using theside of his face. Man, that's versatile. Go Cutmaster Swift, you were f*cking amazing. Say Hi to Mum please. ;-)

Went to a Cutmaster Swift show once in the early '90s. Then was booked to warm up for him the next year. Was a great night, playing alongside one of your heroes. A technical DJ for sure.

[@utfocrew7762]

[@joelidejesus1423]

The truth is this guy probably won from crowd controll if thats in the dmc rules but dj aladdin set was way way way better than his

[@jonsquirrel3661]

I agree, Aladdin's cuts was crisp and straight up on point

[@bernardcuthbert2174]

I Was Going To Say Something About That But You Nailed It. Actually DJ Eliot Ness From Finland Had A Tighter Set As Well.

[@rodneycaldwell1310]

Aladdin murdered him.

Yea an amazing moment!

[@UBZUKki]

I get the feeling that a lot of people thought dj Aladdin was robbed...

[@bernardcuthbert2174]

True That.

Yep!

Aladdin was robbed here but he later defeated Cutmaster at the New Music Seminar

[@samstars9623]

That's my man throwing down. I thought I would take trip down memory lane, and you are still advanced ,if there is any BBoy reunions keep me touch ok. You are true Legend and the rest of the crew. Bless you and all🙏🏿😇

[@melvinbrown735]

I was nine years old when I saw this shit go go Cutmaster. Respect to all the real Djs

[@JayWerx]

Just came back to see Swifts funky chicken dance again.

[@thursiaz1]

I was there at the Royal Albert Hall. Good set by Swift. However, I thought Aladdin should have probably won it. My eyes still haven't reovered from what he did to Herbie Hancock's "Rock It"

[@adeajike2615]

Agreed

[@kamauwilliams8841]

Definitely a ambassador of the art, but Aladdin’s set edges this one out imo , but great performance either way

[@truthisheredealwiit952]

Nah, he was a burden on the art.

remember seeing this and made me get into DJing, respect

This has to be one of the greatest sets of all time

[@LadyVirgo1]

Go cuz.. was always the best mixer growing up from the 80’s!! ❤️

[@djfastt]

say what you like about swifty . in this year he did 3 different sets overall in the championships to win... uk finals , world eliminations and then the final itself (all fresh and not repeated) , now thats some hard work !....first place with all three 'yes"!! ....the best and most deserved champion that year for sure .

[@trixierobson9202]

fast-t knows !!!..

[@djimma5080]

That should be a rule, I hate seeing reused rounties in heats, unless they do something different with the records.

[@DG-ic5yw]

Aladdin's set was far better. Swift won because his home crowd cheered the loudest for him. His set had many mistakes
