Base Originals Dan Tippett (and sometimes DLT) bring it raw and always keep it real. Classic hiphop with a nod to the old school, mixed in the reggae, funk and soul.

Dan Tippett:
DT doesn’t reveal too much of himself online, but when you get the Colville born & bred, now Grey Lynn resident talking in person he has enough stories to entertain you hours on end. Also a respected artists in his own right, Dan Tippett hosted his solo exhibition at the Taupo museum in December 2011.

DLT:
Original True School Dj, original member of Upper Hot Posse, respected Graffiti Artist and a devoted family man, DLT has covered a lot of bases. Back in ’97 he hit the number 1 spot on the NZ charts with “Chains” alongside Che Fu, and has been involved in too many projects over the years to mention. Also a keen supporter of the next generation of local talent, he is one of the true godfathers of the NZ hiphop scene.
