Sixtoo was the main project of a Canadian hip hop DJ, MC and producer Vaughn Robert Squire between 1996-2007.[1] He has since retired the Sixtoo name pursuing other directions in electronic music, with a large genre shift from experimental hip hop to deeper club sounds of various tempos[1]
Squire rose to prominence in the mid-90's underground hip-hop scene initially as half of Halifax, Nova Scotia hip-hop duo Sebutones, along with Buck 65.[2] During that time he worked with Sage Francis, Moka Only, Mr. Dibbs and other members of Anticon Records.[3]
In 2000, Squire moved to Montreal where he signed on with UK based record label Vertical Form Records. Soon after came the release of Antagonist Survival Kit, a synth-based sample album that showcased both sides of his skills: on the mic, and on the sampler.[4]
In 2003 Sixtoo signed to Ninja Tune Records.[5] His debut record on this label - 2004's Chewing On Glass & Other Miracle Cures - has won acclaim in the international electronic beats community.[6]
Since silencing the Sixtoo project he has had a string of visible live P.A. projects including Megasoid (along with Hadji Bakara, formerly of Wolf Parade.[1]), Speakerbruiser Rob and Prison Garde. He is also currently working alongside Andrew Gordon Macpherson (Ango) and Lunice Pierre Fermin (Lunice) on a uptempo electronic project called Nouveau Palais.
