Stereo MC’s were a Nottingham then London based hip-hop/electronic outfit formed by Rob Birch and Nick Hallam. By the early 90s they’d finally cracked it with “Step It Up” : a swaggering, bass-heavy track from Connected . Their performance of “Step It Up” was peak early-90s chaos: loose, funky and slightly scruffy, with Birch prowling around the stage like he’d just wandered in from a warehouse party rather than a TV studio For a few minutes, mainstream TV accidentally let something genuinely cool slip through the net. #StereoMCs #StepItUp #SaturdayZoo #BBC #90sTV #90sMusic #UKDance #HipHop #WhenTVWasBetter #RetroTV #90sCulture #OldSchoolDance #UKMusic #MusicHistory #90sThrowback
