Fifty years ago in the South Bronx, a back to school party became a major milestone in the history of Hip Hop culture. Although the genre had been evolving for years, it was there that DJ Kool Herc first unleashed his “merry go round” method of using two turntables to repeat the breakbeat of a song to keep the crowd moving.
Our exclusive "August 11, 1973" retro design pays tribute to that moment with a golden-anniversary recreation of Kool Herc’s Technics 1100 turntable combined with wording from his actual invitation. This dynamic celebration of the pivotal moment when he revolutionized music belongs in every Hip Hop fan’s closet.
