The station has been responsible for giving a platform to so many of our local hip-hop acts. But it might never have happened if it weren’t for one group. One group that broke through in the early 2000s and made local hip hop appeal to the average suburban Australian kid. One group that used a little rock influence to introduce hip-hop to fans of Regurgitator and Powderfinger, creating new opportunities for the next generation to break through.

That one group was 1200 Techniques. This is the story of their first album, 'Choose One'.
