A.k.a. Karl Gibson Fingers (3)
DJ Fingers describes his role as a DJ as always primarily a Break beat DJ for MC's, and understands the link to Sound System tradition. As one of the first turntablists in the UK, DJ Fingers was influenced by DJs like Grandmaster Flash, Kool Herc, Grand mixer DST, DJ Whizz Kid and DJ Jazzy Jay, Fingers fundamental mantra is the running theme of "Knowledge of self" which he always strives to push conceptually through his many projects. He is the founding member of The Sindecut (Virgin Records; 1990-92) - one of the first UK hip hop groups to sign to a major label, the group continues to release today.
