Big Digits is a rap/danceattack/computerkiller project based in Cambridge, MA. MC Mac Swell and TD are the two primary components handling beats, rhymes, and death defying live shows but have recently added the phenomenal live re-mixing skills of DJ Mark E. Moon. Big Digits feel comfortable, and have been comfortable in, a variety of venues from basements, to arenas, to art galleries, and college dorms. They have also toured across North America several times, being met with both enthusiastic acclaim and swarms of this continent’s dancing sweaty youth. While keeping the original spirit of rap music nearby, they explore the possibilities and avenues of a genre without heed to the dogma or orthodoxy of any style of music. Basically, they make the music that they want and want to make: the music that moves the people. Big Digits have won both Best Hip Hop Act (in 2008) and Best Electronic Act (in 2009) in the Boston Phoenix Readers Poll as well as being nominated two years in a row (2008-9) for Best Rap Act at the Boston Music Awards Thought often hard to describe Big Digits have been called a lot of things from “art rap nonsense” (The Village Voice) to “twisted genius” (The Northeast Performer) to “You guys dress like mummies and hit drums and dance, that shit’s awesome” (some dude on the street), they kind of all fit.
