Interesting Things with JC #1741: "The Night Hip-Hop Was Born" – At a Bronx party in 1973, DJ Kool Herc notices that dancers come alive during the short drum breaks, but the breaks end within seconds. He uses two turntables to keep those sections going, giving the dancers more of the part they want as the technique begins moving from party to party.
