Vintage Cut - DJ Cheese Wrecking Shop in '86

Fresh off his 1986 DMC World Championship, a vintage set from DJ (Robert) Cheese filmed October '86 in Norway during Word of Mouth's world tour. Watch the legend himself chop up "Walk This Way," "Dance to the Drumer's Beat," "Al-Naafyish (The Soul)," "Good Times," and many more.
Major props to the two-time DMC Norwegian champion, DJ Fresh (aka The White Shadow of Norway), for the original upload.
DJ Prince: "He was playing so loud that the cement between the bricks in the roof started to fall out."

How did you choose the name 'Cheese' as your DJ name?

[@rogermoore27]

The first years of the hiphop DJ were amazing

[@carltonlesuer5843]

Cheese 🍕 is my dude from Plainfield NJ.Im from Perth Amboy NJ.we was there in the 80's,and I know his brother Deon cheese also.Hes the best DJ,next to Grand Wizard Theodore.

[@franke2532]

absolute genius. why isnt the mix scratch art mainstream now? hiphop is nowhere near this artistry now. he inspired me. legend!

[@jimbojankerson5610]

It was during the 90s and early 2000's then it faded out when southern style hip hop got big in America. Once Little Wayne became a sub genre it faded out over time. Then Dj controllers took over. Now it's underground but fading out in general.

Those background mullet dudes were blown away.

Remember seeing Cheese in Sheffield UK, The Limit. God I am still trying to get to his standard in 86 lol. People just have not got a clue how ahead of his time DJ Cheese was. The first time I heard the transformer scratch was then and I thought it was magic

Great piece of history. I remember when it Cheese was supposed to battle Jam Master Jay.

@@MichaelShum Yes. I started out as a DJ in 86. spent the whole summer to learn how to beatmix and scratch. Friday 10th of october DJ Cheese was performing at the local youth club. He was playing so loud that the cement between the bricks in the roof started to fall out. All the tracks DJ Cheese played I had in my collection, I saw this as a sign to persuit my DJ career, and set a goal to learn all the tricks he did.I eventually got a residence at the same club a year later. Will never forget that night.

[@seantrice4269]

The God father of turntablism ? When I heard is set from the DMC tournament...it was a Eureka moment., Who came first Cheese or Cash money?? The evolution can be traced to this time period. Obviously there were DJs who were doing this and never mentioned.,who invented or perfected these techniques It's amazing how it kept evolving..and still does! Hip Hop Be Bop..don't stop, from your Green Skin Irish brothers 😊

I’ve never seen anyone top DJ Cheese’s transformers. Closest i’ve seen is Joe Cooley, but still not as fast.
