Video: World Hip Hop Classics | Mr. Tape (1991)

Funny how sometimes modern day media can help you with finding old dusty material. Thanks to Twitter, today we were notified about the seventh edition of the video series ‘World Hip Hop Classics’.

This video features Modris Skaistkalns (also known as Mr. Tape), a dj from Latvia using actual tapes instead of vinyl records to juggle, mix and scratch. Well, we think in this case you can’t even call it ‘scratching’. Anyway, enjoy this footage from ’91, it’s crazy! 

Just an ordinary guy always on the hunt for extraordinary music. Not just as the founder of The Find Magazine & Rucksack Records, but also as a freelance music journalist (bylines at Tracklib, Bandcamp, Wax Poetics, DIG Mag, among others) and—above all—out of love for all kinds of good music.
