The Dadaists made mixes in the 20's, with industrial noises arranged into rhythmic series of klings, klangs and yes, thumps. Could this actually have been the birth of dance music as we understand it today as they performed dance moves to these sonic collages at parties way back then, too - ?

Of course there's a lot of self-aggrandizing in the reminisces of these senior DJs, Grasso included. But the proof of their work is not only the quotes from books-- Grasso was seen at work at the Sanctuary in the the film Klute, and his two-minute mix of Chicago's "I'm A Man" with Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love" was available for listening at the "Decade of Saturday Nights" disco show that premiered at Seattle's music museum. I and many others got to hear this 1969 bit of DJing some 30 years after the fact.
