RHYTHM TRIP

THE TRUE STORY DA' TRIP DYNASTY 1992-2002 RHYTHM TRIP!

LIKE THE SOUND OF A BELL SIGNALING THE START OF A HEAVYWEIGHT BOUT,RHYTHM TRIP HITS THE LISTENER WITH AN EXPLOSIVE NEW SOUND THAT IS FURIOUS,AGGRESSIVE,AND UNRELENTING. RHYTHM TRIP IS THE TRUEST MARRIAGE OF HIP HOP, METAL, AND FUNK LIKE NO OTHER HAS YET ACHIEVED. ONE OF THE PUREST AND GRIMIEST MUTATIONS OF THOSE STYLES MELDED INTO A COHESIVE YET DIVERSE SOUND.

THUNDEROUS GUITAR RIFFS, GENIUSLY PROGRAMMED DRUM MACHINE PROVIDING GROOVY HIP HOP BEATS, IN YOUR FACE BASS PLAYED WITH VERSATILITY PICK, FINGER, AND SLAP,MAD DJ SKILLS SCRATCH LIKE A CAT,AND TWO MC'S THAT SPIT THEIR LYRICS LIKE VENOM CHARACTERIZE THIS NYC/NJ PHENOMENON WHICH HAS BEEN DEVELOPING THEIR SUPREME STYLE SINCE 1992.

RHYTHM TRIP IS THE BRAINCHILD OF TIM MC MURTRIE AKA " T ", ORIGINAL GUITARIST OF NYC/NJ'S LEGENDARY UNDERGROUND HARDCORE BAND M.O.D. METHOD OF DESTRUCTION. TIM CO-WROTE M.O.D.'S 1987 DEBUT RELEASE ENTITLED "USA FOR M.O.D." AND LATER TOURED THE U.S. WITH EXODUS CO-HEADLINING AND ULTIMATELY TRANSFORMING THIS CONTROVERSIAL HARDCORE GROUP INTO A TRUE UNDERGROUND CLASSIC.

IN 1992 TIM GOT BACK TOGETHER WITH M.O.D. FRONTMAN BILLY MILANO FOR A LONG ANTICIPATED RE-UNION AND RECORDED "RHYTHM OF FEAR". ON THIS ALBUM TIM GOT TO FINALLY SHOW HIS WRITING TALENTS AND WAS DUBBED "THE RIFFMASTER" BY MANY IN THE WORLDWIDE PRESS AS 90% OF THE ALBUM MUSICALLY AND LYRICALLY WAS MUSIC HE HAD BEEN ANXIOUS TO RECORD FOR YEARS. THE TRACK ENTITLED "RHYMESTEIN" STOOD OUT AS A TESTIMONY TO TIM'S NEW VENTURE HE WAS ABOUT TO PURSUE. ON THIS RECORD THE BIRTH OF RHYTHM TRIP WAS FORMED AS THE INSERT READ "TIM MC MURTRIE APPEARS COURTESY OF RHYTHM TRIP" AS HIS PLANS FOR SOMETHING NEW AND SPECIAL WERE ON THEIR WAY.

ORIGINALLY RHYTHM TRIP STARTED OUT AS A FOUR-PIECE HARDCORE/METAL BAND WITH A TOUCH OF HIP HOP. THE GROUP WAS TIM MC MURTRIE RHYTHM GUITAR/VOCALS, ROB MOSCHETTI BASS/VOCALS, JAY TRENCER LEAD GUITAR,AND RONNY C. DRUMS. THE ORIGINAL FORMULA WAS TWO-FRONTMEN TIM AND ROB WITH SCREAM-RAPPING HARDCORE EDGED VOCALS, GROOVIER BEATS THEN NORMALLY PLAYED IN HARDCORE/METAL BANDS, AND TIM'S FIRST STEPS OF EXPERIMENTATION BY ADDING NOISES AND NEVER BEFORE HEARD SOUNDS IN THE HARDCORE/METAL WORLD.

AFTER ALL OF THE STEPS TAKEN TO CREATE THIS NEW SOUND TIM STILL WAS'NT HAPPY WITH WHERE THE PROJECT WAS GOING THE BAND SPLIT-UP IN 1993 GOING THEIR SEPARATE WAYS. TWO YEARS LATER RHYTHM TRIP WAS FINALLY ABOUT TO BE TRUELY BORN. FINALLY CONCEIVING THE IDEA T ENLISTED THE AID OF AN UNKNOWN MC FROM QUEENS NYC NAMED AJ AKA GODSIZE. THE COLLABORATION OF THE TWO FORMED THE EXPLOSIVE NUCLEUS THAT FINALLY BRIDGED THESE CONCEPTS OF THE MOST PUREST CROSSOVER METAL/RAP STYLE EVER TO BE PUT ON A CD.

IN 1996, RHYTHM TRIP'S DEBUT ALBUM "BRING DA' RUCKUS" WAS RELEASED EXCLUSIVELY IN EUROPE THROUGH INTERCORD/BULLET PROOF RECORDS. "BRING DA' RUCKUS" EXPANDED THE HORIZON OF RHYTHM TRIP BY INTRODUCING THEM TO EUROPEAN AUDIENCES WHERE T, AJ AND THEIR LIVE BAND TAMIR/DRUMS, RICH C./BASS, JAY T./GUITARS, AND DJ RHYTHM PLAYED TO AN INCREDIBLE RECEPTION WHICH ESTABLISHED A GREAT FAN BASE ACROSS EUROPE. ON A TRIPLE-BILL TOUR WITH PRO-PAIN AND MERAUDER RHYTHM TRIP ALSO GOT TO PLAY MANY OPEN-AIR FESTIVALS WITH THE LIKES OF MOTORHEAD,TYPE-O NEGATIVE,LIFE OF AGONY,MADBALL ETC. FOLLOWING THE TOUR THEIR VIDEO-SINGLE "WHO HOLDZ DA' CROWN WAS AIRED ON A NUMBER OF EUROPEAN-MUSIC TELEVISION STATIONS. THROUGH ALL THEIR SUCCESS T AND AJ NEVER GOT THIS RECORD HEARD IN THE U.S. AS NO RECORD LABLE EVER PICKED UP THE CD DUE TO THEIR LACK OF BIG CONTACTS AND MANAGEMENT THAT COULD BRING THEM THERE.

IN 1998 RHYTHM TRIP RELEASED THEIR SECOND ALBUM ENTITLED "RETURN OF DA' DRAGON" THIS TIME WITH A NEW UPCOMING LABLE CALLED DIGITAL DIMENTION U.S. ALSO THE CD WAS DISTRIBUTED THROUGH HIGHGAIN RECORDS IN EUROPE. UNFORTUNATELY AS GREAT AS THIS FOLLOW-UP ALBUM WAS IT WAS NEVER SUPPORTED ENOUGH AND WAS JUST THROWN TO THE DOGS AS BAD BUSINESS DEALS WERE STARTING TO AFFECT THE BAND'S DRIVE AND FOCUS AS FEELINGS OF THE MUSIC INDUSTRY DEEPLY TURNED RHYTHM TRIP'S HEART SOUR. IT STARTED TO SEEM LIKE THEY HAD DONE EVERYTHING THEY COULD CREATIVELY BUT TO NO AVAIL. THESE BAD DEALS WERE RUINING THE CHANCE AT GETTING THEIR MUSIC TO BREAK INTO THE MAINSTREAM AND GET THEM THE RESULTS THAT THIS GREAT UNSUNG PROJECT DESERVED.

T AND AJ HAD ENOUGH AND KNEW IT WAS TIME FOR YET ANOTHER CHANGE. MAKING MORE CONTACTS T HOOKED UP WITH AN UPCOMING FILM PRODUCER NOW ONE OF THE BIGGEST HIP HOP MUSIC VIDEO PRODUCERS ON THE CIRCUIT DALE RESTEGHINI AND RAGING NATION FILMS. THE TRIP GOT ON ONE OF DALE'S FIRST MOVIES ENTITLED "THE HIP HOP WITCH PROJECT" WHICH WAS A SPOOF ON "THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT" FEATURING MANY RAP CELEBS INCLUDING EMINEM,PROZ OF FUGEES, KILLA PRIEST OF WU TANG,LA THE DARKMAN OF WU TANG ,SONZ OF MAN,HELTER SKELTER,CELLAR DWELLERS,AND SOME MEMBERS OF THE FLIP MODE SQUAD.THE MOVIE WAS RELEASED EXCLUSIVELY TO HOME VIDEO IN AUGUST OF 2000. IN 2OO2 SOME OF RHYTHM TRIP'S MUSIC WAS USED AS BUMPER INTROS ON HOWARD STERN. IN 2003 T AND TRIPSQUAD PRODUCTIONZ GOT PUT ON THE MAP RECORDING 3 TRACKS "MOLTEN", "EXHALE", AND "I KNOW" WITH VANILLA ICE ON HIS NEW RELEASE ENTITLED "BI-POLAR" WHICH SIDE A FEATURED HEAVY METAL ARTISTS AND SIDE B FEATURED HIP HOP ARTISTS IN HOPES OF A HUGE COMEBACK V-ICE ENLISTED THE LIKES OF JOSH BRAINARD OF SLIPKNOT, SHAGGY AND INSANE CLOWN POSSE, BILLY MILANO M.O.D.,LA THE DARKMAN OF WU TANG, CHUCK D OF PUBLIC ENEMY, ETC.
