	DJ History
		In 1973 Kool Herc started when his sister Cindy asked to provide the music at her birthday party, which was being held in a recreation room in their projects.
		What he did was play the break of a song, which is a short section of a song without vocals that is good for dancing, on one turntable then switch to the other turntable and play the break, in order to extend the break.
		In contrast, Kool Herc was more hit or miss when he did a break beat and the beat would be broken as he switched turntables.
