IntroducingYou are in: Suffolk > Entertainment > Music > Introducing > Hectic Squad  Hectic SquadHectic Squad are a group of Ipswich-based MC's who got together at the turn of the century while they were all teenagers. They're hoping to take their UK garage sounds to the next level. D.O.C
Help playing audio/video The Squad honed their MC-ing skills in and around Ipswich, becoming residents of the Affinity club night across East Anglia.听 Affinity's promoter Gambler became the group's manager.听 He describes their music as something more than garage: "We're doing a bit of what is already out there, but a little bit more added to it." "So yeah we've got a little bit of grime [type of garage beat] in there, we've got a few tracks with a few female vocalists, but at the end of the day what we wanna appeal to is the people who are ready to hear something totally different, because it isn't straight garage - the beats are a bit of old skool, new skool and a bit of my own touch."
Hectic draw influences from hip hop, bashment, garage, RnB, pretty much all 'urban' music really. Their promo track is called 'Real Quick' apparently because they had to produce it 'real quick'. But they also say it's to do with their style of rhyming, they spit lyrics quickly. They're hoping to bring their sound to a wider audience via Channel U - a digital urban music channel - which will be screening their video in a couple of weeks time. "We're reality MCs," adds Mist. "We're gonna talk reality. When we chat we're not just gonna talk rubbish, we're not gonna portray ourselves as being something that we're not. We're just giving you it real.  "We know what we're capable of doing and we know we've got the talent to get there, so why not go for it?". last updated: 23/04/2008 at 13:11 Have Your SayAre Hectic Squad going anywhere?
