Description
The original five-track EP would pitch the duo of mic man MC Dälek and producer Oktopus into the swelling fringes of late ‘90s hip hop, somewhere adjacent to Spectre’s illbient, El-P’s Company Flow and Cannibal Ox, DJ Shadow or RZA, and early Kevin Martin works. They were consciously weirder than prevailing, contemporaneous gangsta rap, and would expand hip hop’s vernacular with a darkside, tripped-out lean that arguably earned them a bigger following in UK & EU than the US, resulting later collaborations with Manchester’s Skam Records and Kareem’s Zhark in Berlin, where they ended up moving by 2010.
