So here’s a novel idea: Get eight DJs that share little beyond general geographic region, give each of them 15 minutes to bump three different genres of music, and see who rocks the crowd the hardest. Then you top off the night with a set from Rob Swift, one of the greatest turntablists in the history of the art form. We’ve got our dub-of-a-dub VHS tape of Swift’s performance of the 1992 Disco Mix Club Championships preserved in Lucite for future generations, just in case the Internet fails or some similarly dystopian shit hits the fan. When our great-grandkids ask us, “What was hip-hop really like?” we’re going to whip that tape out and be all, “This, you little 22nd century shitheads, is what hip-hop was really like.”
