Peel hosted a section of the programme called Hip-Hop Grandmaster Class, which featured Mantronix and DJ Cheese from New York doing battle at the turntables against UK artist Faze One, consisting of Stepski and Genio at the Town And Country Club. On his 23 September 1986 show, Peel mentioned DJ Cheese as being rude when interviewing him on TV, but found his music worth listening, where he played a track from the artist.
