Yeah, we came to amaze, Put you in a daze. And we won't quit till we get paid. We do our jobs and that's turn it out; Just like a hot water heater, we heat the house.
Word of Mouth feat DJ Cheese - Coast to Coast
A-T-5 010 DJ Cheese
Word Of Mouth featuring DJ Cheese - King Kut
Dj Cheese (Robert Cheese) won the inaugural DMC World DJ Championship in London in 1986. 'An unhappy runner-up, Holland's Orlando Voorn grabbed the mic from the events MC and founder Tony Prince and bellowed the immortal word's "What is this, a Mixing Competition or a Scratching Competition?"' It was DMC's 2nd DJ convention. Dj Cheese introducing scratching put DMC on the trajectory of becoming the oscars of turntablism
DMC's Tony Price first met DJ Cheese at the 1984 New Music Seminar in New York. At the seminal DJ Cheese had won the DJ Battle for World Supremacy. He grew up in New Jersey so this made him the first non-NYC DJ to win the title
DJ Cheese also caught the attention of Ed Fletcher aka Duke Bootee. Duke Bootee, who at the time was a session musician for Sugarhill Records, made a demo in his basement which would be released as "The Message" in 1982. Duke Bootee wanted to release the track himself but Sylvia Robinson had other ideas. Anyway that's another story. Duke Bootee set up his own label Beauty And The Beat. DJ Cheese is the DJ on the first and third releases on this label (I have no idea what the second release BAB 102 is. Word Of Mouth's "Coast To Coast" single?)
BAB 101 is "King Tut" by Word Of Mouth featuring DJ Cheese. This was picked up by Profile Records
BAB 103 is "Triple Threat" by Z-3 MC's which doesn't credit DJ Cheese but that's him on there
Both are classics produced by Duke Bootee and edited by the Latin Rascals
Z-3 MC's - Triple Threat
Following the success of Band Aid's "Do They Know It's Christmas?" Steve Van Zandt and Arthur Baker put together a similar styled group to protest South-African apartheid. Duke Bootee and DJ Cheese were both involved. DJ Cheese's turntable skills are prominent on all versions of the track "Let Me See Your I.D." Also involved in the project were Duke Bootee's fellow Sugarhill Band musicians Doug Wimbish, Bernard Alexander, and Keith LeBlanc. These three had already begun working with Adrian Sherwood on their Fat's Comet/Tackhead/Maffia projects. Fat's Comet/Tackhead sessions with DJ Cheese would be released in 1986
According to a post on Discogs ""Let me see your ID" features: Afrika Bambaataa, Melle Mel, Gil Scott-Heron, DJ Cheese, Duke Bootee, Kurtis Blow, Scorpio (Furious 5), Fat Boys (Rap & Beatbox), Tina B, Jimmy Cliff, Malopoets, Sonny Okosuns, Ray Barretto, Peter Garrett, Miles Davis, Ben Newberry, Annie Brody Dutka, Richard Scher, Doug Wimbish, Keith Leblanc and of course Steve van Zandt aka Little Steven. Mixing engineers: Arthur Baker, Chris Lord-Alge, Aldo Marin & Jay Burnett. Editing by Aldo Marin, Keith Leblanc & Albert Cabrera (Latin Rascals)"

Some Examples of Golden Era Video Remixes
As I explained in the last post about DJ Cheese, the remixes we collaborated on were done on analog equipment. I remember spending hours fast-forwarding and rewinding through numerous tapes to overdub specific frames of video into a particular piece. The process was not only time-consuming but tedious, meticulous and at times frustrating which is why some glitches could never be redone at the…

DJ Cheese from Plainfield, New Jersey, my hometown.
The remixes DJ Cheese and I worked on for Shades of Hip Hop volume 5: CDS, and Shades of Hip Hop volume 6: Da Goodness were done in a unique way for remixes. Since Shades of Hip Hop is a video mixtape, the audio track would have to be mixed with the live sound including background…
