Whoa here, Wasn't it also Jeff Mills and Claude Young hip-hop DJs too before the techno onslaught? Also don't forget the association between electro of early Cybotron/ Model 500 with Afrika Bambatta. Its all intertwined. I remember the remote days of having fun with an old Japanese DJ friend who was really into hip hop and he showed me some of his ropes with the turntables. We ended up having nights where I'd spar with him, me playing Rob Hood and Ron Trent whilst he slapped on A Tribe Called Quest and La Funk Mob. What a blast!
