Credited with pioneering a myriad of techniques that continue to inspire thousands of DJs today, Grandmaster Flash was one of the first to make his own kind of music through mastering the potential of the turntables as a musical instrument in their own right. Similarly, his legacy as a producer is undeniable, with a discography that extends back to 1981. Also the only hip-hop DJ ever to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Grandmaster Flash’s career might be one that few can rival in terns of length, yet he’s showing no signs of slowing down – heading to Australia for Summadayze, you can also get a fix of Flash’s renowned ability to get a crowd moving at recently-announced sideshows.
