Description
From 1986 to 1997, DJ Hurricane was the natural fixture behind the turntables at Beastie Boys concerts. The 1997 Tibetan Freedom Concert II was the last official appearance of the Hurra as DJ for the Beastie Boys. He would later return as a guest DJ on stage in Atlanta, GA when the Hello Nasty tour passed through in 1998.
The Hurra was released in 1995, might as well have been a companion piece to Ill Communication as the two albums sound somewhat similiar due to that fact that "the Hurra" features guests along the lines of Mario Caldato, Money Mark Nishita, Eric Bobo, and yes, the Beastie Boys.
In 1997, DJ Hurricane released another full length album Severe Damage in Japan. Unlike the Hurra, this release did not have close ties to the Beastie Boys. Three years later Hurricane put out his strongest album Don't Sleep which featured a legion of guest stars.
