In a time when most contemporary hip-hop music consists of uninspired rhyme slingers rapping along to ‘flavor of the month’ instrumentals, Electric City brings it back to the basics, moving forward all the while.
When DJ Skipmode and Mighty FlipSide Esq. met in 1996, the two were already earning reputations within their respective crafts - Skipmode for his unique “battle meets party” style of DJing, and Mighty Flipside for his remarkable freestyle and rhyming abilities. When the two eventually joined forces, their musical and on-stage rapport was undeniable, and a super group was formed. The duo, consisting of DJ Skipmode’s captivating turntablism and beat-making, paired with the energetic lyricism of Mighty FlipSide Esq., reintroduces the almost forgotten concept of MC-DJ-Listener interaction.
Electric City's music music has been included on national television and movie soundtracks, as well as on premier radio shows and DJ mixtapes, and the duo has performed alongside the likes of Kool Keith, P-Funk Allstars, Nelly, Xzibit, The Beatnuts, J-Live and more.
Keep a look out for tour dates, as the two plan to be touring later this year.
