Exclusive footage courtesy of DJ Friction—History in the making as DJ MPK (Pasha Kamber, aka Islam G) crushes the competition to win the 1991 DMC Germany Finals, Cologne. If not for this hard-fought victory over runner-up DJ Koze, the ITF may never have happened, as it was during the '91 DMC World Mixing Final in London that Pasha hooked up with Alex Aquino and Q-Bert, and the idea for another competition to rival the DMC—run by DJs for DJs—was born. From 1997 to 2001, Pasha oversaw the everyday operations of ITF alongside Alex, but quit after the dissapointing 2001 ITF World Final in San Francisco, the last on US soil.
