First coming into international attention in 2003 as co-founder of HOLLERTRONIX with partner Diplo, Philadelphia DJ, Michael "Lowbudget" McGuire (aka Lowbeezy,) has been rocking dancefloors worldwide since the late nineties. The pair's seminal mixtape "HOLLERTRONIX: Never Scared" is widely regarded as one of the most influential mixes of all time, and was ranked in the New York Times Top 10 albums of 2003. The HOLLERTRONIX sound and ethos was defined (or rather NOT defined) by creating a multi genre, freeform sound clash of seemingly disparate and unrelated musical styles. While the aesthetic is common practice today, it was practically unheard of at the time, and the pair set the gold standard with their parties, mixtapes and mashups.
As a product of hip hop's golden age, Lowbeezy approaches DJing with the "true school" sensibilities of scratching, blending and quick mixing, and applies them to all forms of music - from Hip Hop, Rock, Classics, Club, Indie, Trap, Bounce and whatever future emerging styles appear on the radar. He approaches new music trends with a finely tuned ear and extracts only the best examples before including them in his seamless mixes; both on the dancefloor and in mixtape form.
Lowbeezy's knack for creating exciting and captivating mixes and mixtapes is his forte. Whether it be underground Southern rap compilations with Dirty South Joe under their Trilladelphia moniker, more traditional underground hip hop mixes for Decades Hat Company, or uptempo party mixes for various others, his expert touch sets him far apart from the competition. He's done mixes for Obey, 555 Soul, Diesel, FADER, Turntable Lab, and the aforementioned Decades Hat Co., and in 2012 he was commissioned by Okay Player to do the official mixtape for the Roots Picnic.
In 2006 he released the "Bmore Gutter Music" album on Milkcrate Records. The compilation featured vocal contributions from emerging superstar Spankrock, and introduced Philly rapper Amanda Blank to the music world. The album was followed by a split EP of original Baltimore Club style productions on the premier Club music label Unruly Records, shared with label boss Scottie B, and King Tutt.
Lowbeezy is one of Philly's finest musical exports and experts. In 2007 he set off on a world tour with M.I.A. as her DJ and musical director, and he hasn't looked back since, with recent tours in Asia and Australia under his belt. He is a leader and inspiration to his peers, and an international ambassador to his city's incomparable DJ history.

most of my work gets posted on this soundcloud profile:
http://soundcloud.com/verminstreet/sets/vinylblight/
because managing 2 profiles is too much work! :)

and here's a very serious and telling biography on how vinyl blight grew up playing piano in his mother's womb and has performed for such notables as: his mom; his best friend; and the sorely disappointed bartender.

hailing from the far foreign land of nowhere special, creating new techniques and setting trends for genres which will soon be known as 'what-the-fuck-is-this-shit?-step' and 'medio-core,' vinyl blight harnesses his roots in early ragga jungle to bring you a sound you'll be glad you've never heard before. like super hyped-up madness that never fails to let down, vinyl blight has managed to do the unthinkable and create a sound that no one likes, not even in an unpleasant but still kind of avant-garde and counter-culture sort of way.
check him out before the whole world finds out how whack he is so you can say you were hatin' way back before suckas' mommas' even told their children not to buy his album. championing the war on vinyl since 1999, for more information, go here: http://www.verminstreet.com/vinylblight



Ipecac Recordings is the brainchild of Greg Werckman (former label manager for the legendary punk label, Alternative Tentacles, employee for Mercury Records for a record 15 minutes, currently operating Pick-A-Winner Management) and Mike Patton (former frontman for Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, currently of Fantômas, Tomahawk, Peeping Tom).

Werckman and Patton had been scheming for years (in between video games) about starting their very own label, waiting for just the right moment to unleash their master plan. Ipecac Recordings is not about to make music biz history and execute a revolution (although one is surely needed) or bore you by waxing poetic about their original musical philosophies. But if we have to adhere to a "mission statement," how about the notion of being an honest, artist friendly label run on a shoe string with no outrageous promotional or production costs. This label is a home to Mike Patton's eclectic musical collaborations as well as a place where bands we admire have the freedom to release music they might not be able to, or want to, release on other labels.
