Quarashi switchstance original hq


Switchstance is the first and only EP by Quarashi. It was also the first record they ever released. It quickly became a hit in Iceland thanks to the title track. Only 500 copies were made of Switchstance, but all 500 copies were sold in a week. Today, it is rare to find a copy of Switchstance, which is now considered a collector's item. With the success of Switchstance, Quarashi became the first rap act to find major success in Iceland.
