A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, OutKast, Big Daddy Kane, The Entire Juice Crew. DJ Premier, Marley Marl, Pete Rock, Gang Starr, Black Star, Black Moon...etc. etc. pretty much anyone that created hip-hop from '88 - '95. Last but not least, Afrikka Bambattaa, Grand Master Flash, Kool Herc, and everyone else that was killing it in the late 70's with them Parliament influenced outfits.
Sounds Like
People tend to say that we sound like A Tribe Called Quest and De La Soul or remind them of the sound of hip-hop during that period in time.
“The idea of Anti-Music Music was born out of the rebellion against the current status quo. We seek to bring forth an era where unique artists can share different styles of Hip-Hop music.”
- Euphon
Hip-Hop has seen better days. Although Hip-Hop started out with a variety of talents and personas, and at some point, Hip-Hop lost it sense of individuality. But what makes Hip-Hop unique from any other musical genre is that in its effort to find itself, Hip-Hop is an ever-evolving entity, thus lending itself to cyclic patterns. The spice of life returns.
Euphon is ushering in a movement of quality music. Steeped in the essence of New York City’s elder statesmen and founders of the art form, the Harlem, New York-based Hip-Hop duo is made up of artist/producer Slim and MC Mr. Fantastik. Euphon’s brand of music brings about classic Hip-Hop themes and ideals all with a contemporary flair. Relying less on arrogance and more on conviction, assertiveness and a willingness to showcase vulnerability, Mr. Fan’s B-Boy flamboyant delivery only complements Slim’s quiet confidence. The group’s “Anti-Music Music” movement is one that states that a corrupted system can only be change from within.
Sonically, Euphon draws and provides inspiration from their rich blend of Hip-Hop, Jazz, Funk, and Soul influences. Their balanced, no-gimmicks approach garnered the group respect from their peers in New York’s underground Hip-Hop circuit, including Dujeous, Sub-Con, Pack FM and Jean Grae and led to a cult following. In 2002, Euphon landed a spot on MTV2’s Area 2 Tour with Moby, appearing on the singles Superbaby and Rock Wid Us featuring producer/artist DougSimpson. Those triumphs led to the duo being invited to perform at the Zulu Nation’s 30th and 31st Anniversary Celebrations in 2003 and 2004.
Described as a refreshing alternative to the cookie cutter material being released commercially, Euphon’s first official release, Euphonics (EP) was warmly received by critics and the public alike. Euphon’s re-release of the project, as a full LP was a true testament to its fans and supporters, as well as those new to the Anti-Music Music movement.
The group resumes their movement with its forthcoming full-length project, A Brief History of The Future, which offers its listeners a much deeper look into the minds of the Hip-Hop duo. Featuring all new guest artists, and for the first time, production outside of the Ironhorse Music camp. The new album is slated for a Summer 2007 release.
Their music, triumphs, struggles and stories resonate with an understanding of the responsibility bestowed upon them to carry on the legacy of Hip-Hop music. Euphon is Hip-Hop’s alternative.
Hey, downloaded my FREE copy of The Aqua League's The Repositioning from http://...com/p7hpk6. I gotta say, the album is Dope! I actually would have paid cash for this IronHorse Music Group album release. Great collabs. The variety of lyricists, like Mojo the cinematic of Dujeous, Sleepwalkas, Fresh Aire of Triboro to name a few work very well over the equally quality beats. Slim & DougSimpson keep layin' down the hits! Good Show Fellas, Good Show!
