DJ Moves - Independant Hip Hop #3

 


This is a tape I recently copped from a Halifax local.. One of the early DJ Moves mixtapes and the very first 'official' Low Pressure Records release. Probably released around 1997-8 based on that fact.

In another news the 3MG just dropped this dope new track... hope it means a new album soon.

Quarterbar - Me And My MPC2000 + Woodtown Terrace


Quarterbar was a member of SF hip hop group Mic.edu in the late 90es. He released this beat tape in 1998 and reissued it on cd in 2003. This is a rip of the cd.
As a bonus, a second beat tape (well, from a cd), also released in 2003, called Woodtown Terrace.

Later on Quarterbar went to form Meanest Man Contest and I think was involved in various small indie labels, Weapon-Shaped (that crazy ShapeShifters 7'' anyone?), Rocketship then later Sneakmove and Gold Robot.

In 1998, Mic.edu released a great split tape with Substance Abuse. The group disbanded after the death of one his member, A-Twice.
It was reissued digitally in 2010 on Circle Into Square and more recently, last year to be exact, the japanese label Lo-Vibes operated by beatmaker KK (-his Pure Fragments EP is worth a check!-) reissued it with bonus tracks to make it a full album.
I strongly encourage you to check and buy the album on bandcamp. It's really good and original.

Denver connection: Bug-A-Boo & Ideal Ideologies



Both projects are Denver acts from the late 90es.
I copped them from someone from there but don't know much about it.
Bug-A-Boo sound like a kind of Digable Planets, while Ideal Ideologies is a duo made of Jolt and Mane linked to graff writers L.I.F.E. Crew. There's a couple of tracks with Kaera One aka Kayer on it too.
