KoolDJHerc (born Clive Campbell on April 16, 1955) is a Jamaican-American musician and producer, generally credited as a pioneer of hip hop during the 1970s.
KoolDJHerc and his MC crew The Herculords "started a movement which recycled the creativity of fl American jive jocks back into the USA" (Toop 39).
During the later part of the decade, Herc was stabbed at one of his own parties, sidelining him during most of the 1980s as hip hop spread throughout the country.
The addition of a DJ mixer (used to mix the sound of the two or four playback devices), a microphone (used to amplify the human voice), and headphones (used to listen to one recording while the other is playing, without outputting the sound to the audience) is strongly recommended, but not required.
DJKoolHerc (born 1955), inventor of breakbeat technique, "the father of hip hop culture".
DJ Clue (born Ernesto Shaw on January 8, 1975 in Queens, New York City) is a mix DJ known for his involvement in the mix tape circuit.
