The project aims to help document the Brisbane dance parties, hip hop and sound art communities from 1987-2001. I chose this period because it is when I lived in Brisbane and went to many (many) of these events. The hope is that one day there will be a printed / POD & online book - possibly a pdf/ipad book/zine too - until then, this site (& my email) is used to collate information.
- hip hop radio show broadcast in Toowoomba by bboy Rely from 1992-1994
- mentioned in this Bomb Hip Hop article on bboy Rely by DJ Sheep - an excerpt below :
B: What was the name of your radio show?
R: Slippin' on wax
B: What types of music did you play on the show?
R: Various types of hip-hop from around the globe such as Hijack and Gunshot from the U.K. and all the usual East & West Coast artists from the U.S. at the time. The show started when Def Wish Cast bought out their Mad as a Hatter EP and later released Knights of the Underground Table LP, so we used to play a fair bit of their stuff, as well as Finger Lickin' Good, Fonke Knommads, and other various Australian hip-hop artists.
