| | Herc became aware that although he new which records would keep the crowd moving, he was more interested in the break section of the song. | | | Herc would say, "Flash in order to be a qualified disc jockey...you must have highs." Then he would crank up the highs and they would sizzle through the crowd. | | | By most accounts Herc was the first DJ to buy two copies of the same record for just a 15-second break (rhythmic instrumental segment) in the middle. |

| | Herc wondred what would happen if he got two copies of the same record and cut back and forth between them in order to prolong the break or sonic climax. | | | While these DJs did the same old thing with the newest records, Herc was creating something completely new out of old and obscure records. | | | Popular club DJs kept Manhattan crowds moving to a nonstop mix of trendy disco hits, cleverly blended from one song to the next. |

| | Origins of hip hop - www.causticdames.com |
| | Herc was one of the most popular DJs in early 70s New York, and he quickly switched from using reggae records to funk, rock and, later, disco, since the New York audience did not particularly like reggae. | | | Because the percussive breaks were generally short, Herc and other DJs began extending them using an audio mixer and two records. | | | Jazz and hip hop are more than a series of musical characteristics; they are cultural phenomenon. |

| | Although by no means a turntablist in today's virtuosic scratch sense, Herc was among the first DJs to cut back and forth between beats on two different records, drawing out the drum breaks on tracks from James Brown and Mandrill into extended jams — what are now recognized as breakbeats. | | | Noticing that the crowd's energy hit its pitch during drum breakdowns, Herc began creating new arrangements and extending the breakbeats by switching the audio back and forth between his two turntables. | | | Harder, funkier and more soulful than Donna Summer or the Bee Gees, Herc's playlist comprised dusty, almost-impossible-to-find tracks that weren't getting played on the radio. |
