Craze’s winning performance at the 1998 DMC USA finals is one of the best routines ever. And not just in DMC history, mind you…in DJ history.

The way he combined styles and techniques was a testament to his diversity as a DJ, but the way that he composed the set was true musicianship.

Before this set, most six minute DMC sets were essentially a bunch of short sets thrown together. Some folks still do style their routines similarly, but Craze didn’t just make a routine, he made a song. Back when I rocked a Walkman, I actually recorded this set onto a tape and listened to it on the bus!

Ten years later, there aren’t many sets that can compare to this one. It’s simply one of the most innovative sets of all time.
