Walter Gibbons remains one of the most important and unheralded DJ / remixers in New York dance music history, arnpioneer of reel to reel edits and the art of the remix and a tangible link between early hip hop and disco through hisrnquickfire turntable skills developed during the mid-�70s. At his famed residency at Galaxy 21 (alongside a then young percussionist, Francois Kevorkian), Gibbons perfected his turntable prowess, mixing two copies of records seamlessly at a similar time to Kool Herc�s famed block parties across town in the Bronx in 1975. He was among the first to make his own reel to reel edits of tracks, extending breaks and restructuring tracks specifically for the dancefloor. As a direct result, he was the first DJ to be granted access to multi-track tapes as Ken Cayre�s Salsoul Records brought him in to re-work Double Exposure�s �Ten Percent� in �76, a mix that would set the blueprint for disco, the 12� format and all future dance music mixes.
