In 1987 Chad Jackson brought his trick-packed turntable tactics to the DMC World Finals, taking the title in the process. And while his ultimate trick – a ‘flying’ piece of vinyl – was sabotaged, his influence remains, with DJ Yoda saying, “Chad’s whole approach and persona were a huge influence on my deejay style. I loved the way he was all about the entertainment, and never took the technical side of the battle too seriously.
“Whether it was rocking up in a crazy vintage pilot’s hat or scratching with an American football, he was always great to watch,” he adds. “And ‘Hear The Drummer (Get Wicked)’ is a classic single!”
