So Malcolm McLaren is an interesting and strange guy. He’s got the dubious distinction of not only being the former manager of the Sex Pistols but also as the man who teamed up with the World’s Famous Supreme Team to bring us the Buffalo Gals’ dance and Duck Rock. This team was putting out stuff for breakers way back in the day and mixin’ all sorts of music and influences together. Personally, “Hey DJ” is one of my favorite old school joints (Video Below).

A little about the World’s Famous Supreme Team from their Myspace page:

This project saw “Talcy” pull together a Team of Rappers, Singers and DJ’s from New York and Los Angeles. In their early days the group had hosted their own show on New Jersey station WHBI, with the legendary “World Famous Supreme Team Radio Show” alongside the legendary Mr Magic, before the latter shifted to WBLS. The idea of their partnership with McLaren was to make a modern record, mixed with Rap/Square Dance/African/ Folk- & Pop Music and more.  Duck Rock was produced by Trevor Horn (Producer and Member of the Art of Noise). The World’s Famous Supreme Team – probably best known for providing the cutting and scratching on Malcolm McLaren’s classic “Buffalo Gals”. The World Famous Supreme Team made their biggest impact on wax with this cuts, and especially with their own Debut Single “Hey D.J.”, a big street and club hit in the spring of 1984.

Mclaren went on to produce quite a bit of eclectic and strange stuff in his solo career and also managed the band Bow Wow Wow for a short while. Check out some of his various videos on You Tube when ya can.
