Peter King started deejaying in 1982 and was soon a regular on Saxon Sound System. In 1982 he originated what came to be the fast chat style, showcasing it on his record »Me Neat, Me Sweet« (1984). This style of deejaying was an English, groundbreaking and new way of deejaying that soon (with the help of Papa Levi) came to rule even the charts of Jamaica.
