Back in the summer of 1973, an 18-year-old South Bronx DJ named Kool Herc soundtracked his sister's back-to-school party with turntable experiments that we now know as breaks, scratches, and raps. In honor of the 50th anniversary of what is believed to be the birth of hip-hop, turntablists Vitamin D and Sean Malik with travel through the history of the genre while you participate in dance battles and show off your best headspin. But, as Queen Latifah once said, "Ladies First!"—trailblazing female selector DJ Lady Love will command the decks with her expansive knowledge from 40+ years in the biz. Be sure to dress to impress, costumes inspired by your favorite era of hip-hop are encouraged! Think TLC's oversized silk pajamas, Lil Kim's monochrome ensembles, or Run-DMC's iconic Adidas tracksuits.
