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.
