Below is a summarised biography of Chad Jackson created using Google Gemini in January 2026...
Chad Jackson is a pivotal figure in the evolution of the UK DJ scene, bridging the gap between Northern Soul, Hip Hop, and House. He is best known as one of the earliest and most successful British turntablists, whose technical prowess helped elevate DJing from record-playing to an art form.
DMC & Turntablist Legacy
Jackson is synonymous with the Disco Mix Club (DMC), an organization that played a central role in globally promoting the art of mixing.
World Champion (1987): Jackson became the DMC World DJ Champion in 1987 at the Royal Albert Hall in London. His winning set is legendary for its use of cue-point juggling and rapid scratching, techniques that were revolutionary at the time.
The 1986 Runner-Up: The previous year (1986), he placed 2nd in the World Championships, narrowly losing to the American pioneer DJ Cheese. This rivalry helped cement the "scratching" style as the dominant force in DJ battles.
Monthly Mixes: He was a prolific contributor to the DMC's monthly subscription cassettes (and later vinyl). These mixes were distributed to DJs worldwide, influencing a generation of selectors.
Notable Mix: "The Garage Groove" (July 1986), a tribute to New York's Paradise Garage.
Remix Work: He produced exclusive remixes for DMC, applying his turntable skills to tracks by artists like Run-DMC and De La Soul.
Residency & Style
The Hacienda: Jackson was a resident DJ at the legendary Hacienda nightclub in Manchester. Unlike many of his peers who stuck strictly to one genre, Jackson was known for his eclectic sets, blending Funk, Hip Hop, and early House music.
Technique: He was one of the first UK DJs to master American-style "beat juggling," using two copies of the same record to extend breakbeats manually.
Commercial Success
While deeply rooted in the underground battle scene, Jackson achieved mainstream fame with his production work.
"Hear the Drummer (Get Wicked)" (1990): This track reached #3 on the UK Singles Chart. It is a collage of samples, most notably the saxophone loop from "The 900 Number" by The 45 King, and remains a classic example of sample-based dance music.
