A BMP infographic showing the original handwritten invite to DJ Kool Herc's 1973 party. Its text says: To DJ his sister’s party, Clive promoted himself as “DJ Kool Herc,” adopting the “Kool Herc” from his graffiti artist tag. DJ Kool Herc’s set-up included boxes full of records, two turntables, and a microphone. The two turntables allowed him to extend the instrumental breaks by repeatedly playing the same section and switching between them. This extension of the “breakbeats” drove the dancers wild.
