A tribute to the legendary DJ Kool Herc, whom invented the Merry go Round technique, brought Jamican sound system culture to America and birthed a sound we now call Hip Hop in the early 1970's.  We used the first 3 songs he used, but we used re-edits and different versions to create something uniquely fresh. The additional songs are some songs he could have played afterwards and some that came out way after his first Merry go Round, namely the Kurtis Blow song, but we wanted to add that call and response flavor that he did use in later sets. We hope you dig it, and respect the Godfather of Hip Hop DJ Kool Herc. 

The Merry go Round technique took all of the instrumental breaks out of popular songs and ran them together because he noticed people only danced on the instrumental breaks in songs. After listening to a sample of him doing this it got me thinking about a genre of music that exists today that seems to be one big instrumental break, electronic music.

When you listen to artists such as The Glitch Mob, or Bassnectar it is rare to hear a person singing, if there are words at all they are usually a few spoken words and no more than a few seconds. I thought maybe DJ Kool Herc’s technique used on the tables could have possibly been what created one of the most popular club and party genres that exists today. I mean most of it is upbeat, danceable, and contains little to no words, which is exactly what Kool Herc was trying to do when developing his Merry Go Round technique.

DJed in one take with samples added over in post. Practice and time, that's how you do this.
