Meanest Man Contest - Contaminated Dance Step

-

Mad Good Records is proud to reissue Contaminated Dance Step, the 2002 debut EP from Meanest Man Contest (Erik Solo and Quarterbar), newly remastered and available for the first time on cassette.

Originally released as a 7-inch on Erik Solo’s vinyl-centric Weapon-Shaped label, this collage-like hip-hop record laid the foundation for the Oakland duo’s experimental sound, which evolved through full-length albums Merit (Plug Research, 2002) and Everything Worth Mentioning (Gold Robot, 2013), along with a steady stream of EPs, singles, and remixes throughout the 2000s and 2010s.

Contaminated Dance Step captures MMC’s raw, inventive energy, merging abstract, sample-heavy beats with biting lyrics that critique capitalism and dissect fractured relationships.
