@martynpank You have to cast your mind back to what things were like then. The transformer scratch was brand new and he had good control over it pretty early on, much better than most if not all Uk djs at that time. That would have sounded awesome at the time as it still sounds pretty clean even though he was using a switch. Of course DJ Cheese was a much better overall scratcher but I'm not even sure that he was even transforming at the time if at all. The crab today is the equivalent.
Cj appeared at my then residency.. The Madison nightclub in Middlesbrough. he did a "Live" remix/cut of his MARRS classic "Pump Up The Volume" & Hashim's "Al Naa Fishe" & brought the house down! Even today he's still one of my all time favourite dj's & still a force to be reckoned with. Oh, those halcyon days! Fabulous.. but they'll never be back - pure magic. Thank you so much for this rare dmc treat. Kind regards, Gary.
@DjGaryMillar01 i went to the madison on that night and cj was in a different league blew everyone away was walking round the decks on the stage while still scratching....excellent!!!
@djalvind totally agree with you man, this guy was one of the pioneers of the cut in the uk, his scratching was ahead of its time then, he had his own clean style and scratched on some brilliant records in the 80s.. he influenced people and is a legend regardless of some of these comments.. every man and his dog have a set of decks now and think there gods gift cos they can crab or somet cos theve watched some cheesy utube tutorial.. back in the days u learned yourself & ure own style
@67fordie If you are only going to speak to me in capital letters, ie. SHOUTING! Then, do one! If you want to talk as an adult, then I will continue! I will not accept a person who is forthright! .....................Actually, I can't be bothered! There are more important thngs in life than arguing about mixing! Just enjoy it!
THIS WAS b4 ALL OF U WERE BORN !THIS IS HIPHOP IN THE 1980s! WHEN IT WAS JUST REALLY STARTING! TO TAKE THE WORLD BY STORM! DONT HATE CUZ THIS NEW SKOOL SHIT IS WACK!
Great to see this again, I was in the crowd that night. CJ started a new craze of Transforming between the decks, which for budding DJ's across the country was a great new way to express their art. I got a good look at sue pollard too!! Has anyone got footage of Chad Jackson on this nite?
how comes you only see the winners in the world '86 and uk '87? if the cameras were set up, why is there no film of any other dj's? i would love to see owen d who came 2nd in the uk '88 final. i have it on video, but i think it would rip to pieces if i tried to play it! come on dmc, there are sets we want to see!!!
I would of to see and hear do the same scratch / cut remix of Pump Up The Volume.. He blown the crowds away with it, and where he finds the part on the record to scratch with still baffles me, as he made it sound totally awesome
I was there that night, and this is still one of the best competition sets I've ever seen. The vibe on the night was amazing during CJ's time on the decks. 👍
@martynpank Yes it won because back then this was a new concept and if you were around at the same time I bet CJ would have kicked your ass too as you wouldn't have had access to the internet or had the headstart that every dj has today with non skip needles, mixer faders that are effortless etc. Back then it was a LOT harder and you couldn't hide behind a crab scratch all night.
Never seen this before. The only other time I've seen CJ scratching was on TOTP with MARRS "Pump Up The Volume". And why's Timmy Mallet's sister on stage??
@martynpank THIS GUY WAS FIVE YEAR IN FRONT OF EVERYONE ELSE IN THE UK AT THE TIME, THIS GUY WAS THE FIRST GUY TO PERFORM THE TRANSFORM SCRATCH. I WATCHED THIS LIVE AND THEN I WATCH DJ CHESSE AND THEN I NEW HE WAS IN A DIFFERENT LEAGUE AT THE TIME. SO TO ALL YOU BEDROOM DJ'S WHO THINK THIS IS NOT WORLD CLASS, THATS WHY YOU ARE BEDROOM DJ'S.
@maccagrabme PS. I too, think that alot of DJ's hide behind the 'Crab Scratch' & seen a DMC mix where a guy 'Crab-Scratched' for the whole mix! That ain't talent! A Baboon could do that! LOL!
this is a dodgey set he did but i know how good this guy was in the late 80s,, his scratching ability for the day was outstanding, i still love his style even now and have much respect for the guy.. and how into his set is that women passin him the tunes.. im sure she was in the beat masters.. peaceeeee...
@maccagrabme Thanks Mac! I have a had another listen! I think the sound quality is very poor & if it wasn't overtaken by the F*****g row of the crowd, I could make a better judgement! Respect & regards! Pank.
@maccagrabme ".....and if you were around at the same time..." Mac? I'm 45! I am comparing this to 1986! Dj Cheese was a far better mix! As Dj Cheese 'set the bar' For the next year. I thought it would have been a little better! .........esp. when you consider what was to come in the DMC chanpionships!
i defo remember them, about 1987 they released two albums in the series as i recall.. it was defo champion records.. one mix was streets ahead and i think dj cheese did one, chad jackson might have joined in one of the earlier ones.. i have em somewhere, they got like an album and then a seperate disc with the mixes on
so great to my friend CJ doing his thing and killing it..awesome.

Why was Sue Pollard hanging around in the back ground?
cj was technically one of the best uk scratchers at the time... very clean scratches...
Cj appeared at my then residency.. The Madison nightclub in Middlesbrough.
he did a "Live" remix/cut of his MARRS classic "Pump Up The Volume" & Hashim's "Al Naa Fishe" & brought the house down!
Even today he's still one of my all time favourite dj's & still a force to be reckoned with.

Thank you so much for this rare dmc treat.
Kind regards, Gary.
Didn't have to do a whole lot to win in those days eh?
Still smashed Chad to bits though.
Because he was given extra time...
Is the "vynil holder" under LSD ?
@DjGaryMillar01 i went to the madison on that night and cj was in a different league blew everyone away was walking round the decks on the stage while still scratching....excellent!!!

back in the days u learned yourself & ure own style
remember this when i was 13/14. he is still one of the best house djs in my humble opinion.

Good time for the scratch dj cj ,chad and dj cheese and remember cheese using his trainers to scratch 👌
how comes you only see the winners in the world '86 and uk '87? if the cameras were set up, why is there no film of any other dj's? i would love to see owen d who came 2nd in the uk '88 final. i have it on video, but i think it would rip to pieces if i tried to play it! come on dmc, there are sets we want to see!!!
I have the whole thing on VHS, my dad was the official time keeper for this one, he was told to give CJ Macintosh extra time.
@@Lchopproductions We all had 7 minutes. That was just under 7 minutes. I have the whole night on DVD. Who's your dad?
@@CJMackintosh you have the whole night on DVD? Any chance I can get a copy?
Hip Hop was fun in 1987.
Recorded by meeee
I would of to see and hear do the same scratch / cut remix of Pump Up The Volume..
He blown the crowds away with it, and where he finds the part on the record to scratch with still baffles me, as he made it sound totally awesome
all them records he's spinning are still top notch today !!!!!

CJ always made the best remixes...did all those ATCQ early stuff
ive heard cj do better sets than this durring other heats. a better sence of timeing than some. loved his style.
@Slicearoni Chad won the World title , Cj's performance in the world final was not as good as this one.
Anyone know the name of the first track????
@bobbitt187 Hahahaha I love it. He could be renamed DJ PCP
@red53more because of his name : "C"hristopher "J"ohn Mackintosh
it's called Party Time by Kurtis Blow
This won? The runners up must have been dreadful!
