Circle Research
Take two Hip Hop aficionados that live, eat and breathe music, mix with equal parts clever production and drive to push the sound to the next level, and you get Circle Research. Producers, Astro the Guillotine and Nix the Finger Prince met way back when, through the common interest of records, djing and breakdancing. They formally embarked on their research mission to spread Hip Hop love in 1995, first through sharing choice headnodding cuts with audiences live at shows and later on the radio with the infamous "Circle Research Show" in Toronto on CKLN 88.1 FM
The Circle Research patented cut-scratch-and-boogie ethic that permeates their DJ sets, both at clubs and on air, naturally extends into beat-making territory. Fresh drums, basslines, and melodies drenched in jazzed out soulful funk meet heaping dollops of b-boyism and old-school Hip Hop flavour.
