If you followed the "underground" hip-hop movement in North America during the late 90’s, you may have seen his name on lots of the records, and you probably saw him on stage at shows around that time.
Early 2000 is when it all really started coming together. Just before leaving Halifax he released Duration, a record that, for the first time, took him away from the mic, and put him solely behind the sampler. The results were heralded as an instrumental hip-hop classic, and things started looking up for Sixtoo. The following year saw him freshly re-located to Montreal.
Not content to record based on mining wax for samples. Sixtoo took the basic idea of sample-based music but building the samples from live sources. All brought together to create what is essentially a psyche rock/jazz masterpiece as made by a long time hip-hop producer.
Sixtoo, works with people that can help him fully realize the ideas within the music, as opposed to strangling ideas in order to keep them contained and manageable.
Contained is safe, and safe is played. Sixtoo is out of the box!
