Locked grooves and manipulation of records has well defined roots in
experimental/avant garde music. Their use as "dj tools" seems to be a
complete afterthought. I remember that one of Boyd Rice's first records
(1978?) was a varispeed (33 or 45) seven inch with multiple holes and locked
grooves. Back in 1986, Lee Renaldo came out with a varispeed twelve inch
where each track ended in a locked groove. And of course, Christian Marclay
has been cutting grooves into records for loops for at least two decades.
