History
Orifice Vulgatron (OV) and Dag Nabbit met in Dubai playing in metal, grunge and indie bands as early as 1993. They later formed a group making hip hop in 1996/1997 and soon after started throwing DnB house parties and raves in sports halls and ballrooms. Dag Nabbit moved to Norway in 1998, OV to London in 1999, both continued to produce, promote and perform. The duo regrouped in London, set up a studio and continued promoting, hitting pirate & internet stations, performing at raves such as Dekefex, Kung Fu, Rollercoaster, and the legendary Telepathy, whilst supporting and booking the likes of Andy C, Mampi Swift, Dj Craze, Skinnyman, Skibba, Shabba, Det, Ed Rush and Optical etc.
Dj Nonames also met Metropolis at university in 2000. They soon joined hip hop and funk band Focused Few and began throwing warehouse parties and touring. OV was introduced to Nonames through Dj Gizroc, then part of the Mixologists Crew, whilst working on sound and lighting for "The Wizard of Oz", where Nonames was doing the entire sound with a Technics 1210, a vestax 05 and a "Wizard of Oz" vinyl. By late 2002 OV and DN decided to release Foreign Beggars on their own imprint Dented Records and started performing and recording alongside Dj Nonames, Metropolis and beatboxer Shlomo.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

“The history of all Magazines shows plainly that those which have attained celebrity were indebted for it to articles similar in natureto Berenice—although, I grant you, far superior in style and execution. I say similar in nature. You ask me in what does this nature consist? In the ludicrous heightened into the grotesque: the fearful coloured into the horrible: the witty exaggerated into the burlesque: the singular wrought out into the strange and mystical.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“Every literary critic believes he will outwit history and have the last word.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
