Sonar Events have announced the Grandmaster Flash Australian tour from the 7th to 18th of May 2003. Renown as one of hip-hop's founding fathers, Grandmaster Flash was the first person to change the arrangements of songs by using duplicate copies of records and manually editing/repeating the climatic part (later called the "break") by rubbing the record back and forth. The new technique was dubbed "cutting", and is now more commonly called "scratching". Paving the way with his innovative djing technique, Grandmaster Flash rose from the Bronx to lead the way for DJs such as Funkmaster Flex, Grand Wizard Theodore, DJ Scribble, Jazzy Jeff, Jam Master Jay, Q Bert, Cash Money, and many others. Diary date that tour now if you're a hip hop and turntabilism fan!
