By 1990, many DJs were incorporating beat-juggling in their sets, although it would be several more years before the term itself would come into popular use. Here are six of the best routines from that transformative year: DJ Jay, Cutmaster Swift, DJ Battlecat, DJ Pogo, DJ Miz, and of course, Steve Dee.

Best of the90s turntablism, beat juggling is tricky to do but it looks easy.

I beg to differ cut master swift by far

I agree also.When it comes to truly being funky with that technique and it sounding flawless(if not dam near flawless in execution),Steve mastered it and just made it more acceptable.

How did he jack it? You mean just because he used the same records? How many DJs and their moms used peter piper and rock the bells?

After seeing Pogo and swift doing this in 1990 I have a lot of questions about who has been giving credit for these styles and patterns. Miz was actually on the same level of beat juggling as Steve in the 1990 finals🤔

Where’d you get that good footage of the 90 worlds? Been looking forever but the only uploads I’ve found are like 5th gen copies thatve been played through 3000 times

Don't forget that interview with DJ Bizness that I told you about a few months back. He reckons Clarke Kent filmed Swift juggling in '89, and may have showed the footage to Steve-D.

I think it really annoys Swift, that the two things he's mostly remembered for are dancing like an idiot at the '89 DMC World Final, and obviously getting very lucky, winning the title that should've gone to Aladdin.. I was at the Birmingham Regional DMC heat in '99 when a young guy started making fun of Swift for his dancing, and Swift was not happy at all. I remember he said he told the guy he could beat him in a battle, even if he only had one record.
