Tachichi - "At The Top" (produced by Classified)

 

Born out of a catchy chorus that is both melodic and meaningful, and not just vapid pop, "At The Top" is a semi-autobiographical song about a regular working-class individual and their struggles to make it in the music industry. Just surviving, paying bills, and trying to find the funds to get an album done. But striving for greatness out of pocket guarantees trials and tribulations. Almost at the top of the mountain, but being rich and glamorous isn't necessarily the success they're striving for. Juno-winning producer Classified contributes a beat of bass-heavy drums and plentiful piano while Sipset teammate LXVNDR lays down the crucial chorus and a dope second verse.

DJ Moves presents Bass, Breaks & VHS Tapes

 

About Bass, Breaks & VHS Tapes

Bass, Breaks & VHS Tapes is the latest beat tape from DJ Moves, providing him with an outlet for his output of faster beats—ranging from 107-130 BPM—that none of his usual MC collaborators were selecting. And as the album title suggests, Moves raided his massive VHS collection for music and vocal samples to create these songs.  Primarily instrumentals, Bass, Breaks & VHS Tapes does havre a few guest appearances, with features from frequent vocal contributors Tachichi and Buck 65, plus a fair share of singing from Electric City Underground’s Kirk Comstock, who was working on some of his own faster sing-song electro songs around the same time. The result is an album of funky, uptempo hip hop and electro ideal for both cardboard and dance floor.

About DJ Moves

With 60+ albums under his belt, and at least half self-released on his own Low Pressure label, Moves is a living legend and true Canadian classic. A DJ since ’91 and producing by the following year, he’s also known to kick the occasional R-Tard rap. Moves cut his teeth as a founding member of Truro, Nova Scotia rap group Hip Club Groove, best known for their video for “Shootin’ the Gift,” an early blueprint for Trailer Park Boys by director Mike Clattenburg, and later toured extensively as the DJ for wonderful one-hitters Len (“Steal My Sunshine”). Along the way, he touched down for significant stays in Halifax, Toronto and Vancouver, before ending up back in his hometown of Truro, Nova Scotia. But wherever he puts down roots, he and his Halfway House Studio proceed to have a heavy and positive impact on the local hip hop scene. Any list of rappers for which he has produced albums must include Tachichi, Fatt Matt, Cee!!!!!!!!, Birdapres, Josh Martinez, and Governor Bolts, plus his own consistent compilation output.
