About Us
Cardboard City Records is a label based in Australia and founded in 2003 by DJ and Producer Dan ” The Man” Moore.
Dan started the legendary Fat Fluid parties that dominated the Perth Hip Hop and club scene in the 90’s and owned one of Australia’s first all Hip Hop record stores ” Off The Hook Records”. Dan now produces music under the name ‘Dan Dare’ and DJ’s in many of the local clubs and bars.
The first record on Cardboard City Records was from Bobby Blackbird and The Bluejays, a Deep Heavy Funk 7″ that is now a sought after little find on the collector circuit.
The label now sports a solid base of artists such as Assembly Line, Paper Plane Project, The Nutsons, Dan Dare and Squid Ink.
The labels roots are grounded in Hip Hop, both culturally and in it’s sound, most of the artists are obsessive record collectors and make their music accordingly.
