Outrageous, bizarre, and uniquely original, few DJs have made as much of a splash in the dancehall scene as Eek-A-Mouse. Standing at 6’6†above sea-level, Eek-A-Mouse has a commanding presence one cannot ignore. He’s an artist who has created a style all his own, utilizing reggae, rock and hip hop rhythms to complement his sometimes humorous and sometimes very poignant lyrics. Eek-A-Mouse is the originator and finest exponent of that particular form of reggae which has become known as sing-jay where singing and DJing (rapping) work in and out through a song.

Born Ripton Hylton, Eek-A-Mouse grew up in Trench Town, which he calls the first-class ghetto of Kingston, Jamaica. His strange moniker is reflection of his sense of humor and ability to laugh at himself and the world. A fan of horseracing, he consistently lost money on a horse named Eek-A-Mouse. He finally gave up betting on the horse, which then promptly won! The name stuck when in 1979, the Mouse decided to make music his full time career.

BIG FOOT + -
Phenomenologists have been looking in all the wrong places. Bigfoot lives in San Francisco, not in the frozen Canadian north. This news will come as no surprise to city dwellers, who have seen Bigfoot’s art for years. Walk down alleys in the Mission, especially around 16th and Guerrero, and you’ll see plenty of Bigfoot’s paintings. Graffiti art is an integral part of the San Francisco scene. Among artists you’ve probably noticed around the city, Bigfoot’s art stands out due to the consistency of his themes and characters (Bigfoot!). Street art’s appeal is tied up with its accessibility and mysteriousness. Nothing beats discovering new art where there was none the night before.
