Tipper

Tipper is a British producer and DJ specialising in nu skool breaks, electronica, and trip hop.

Although mostly known in the breakbeat scene, Tipper's output includes strong hints of electro and idm amongst other styles. He is known for his interest in extreme bass frequencies, with his releases often including lengthy subbass test tones at the end.

His latest album continues his auditory experiments into the mid-tempo glitched out Tip Hop realm.

He, and likeminded people from his label Fuel Records, have also engaged in stunts like emptying a swimming pool, covering it with an acoustic canopy and enjoying the bass, or drowning out The Prodigy on the main stage of the V Festival with their car sound systems parked several miles away.

"Whilst I seem to have become best known for the more "dancefloor breakbeat" material I have released in the past, there has always been a slew of other styles on the 'back burner of self-indulgence' throughout the last 15 years. For the moment, I feel like I have offered all I can to the breaks "genre" without becoming too repetitious, so it feels natural to now focus on releasing other styles, hence the "markedly different material" you speak of.

As far as the evolution of my sound over time, I would say the most notable change would be better quality production.

As the tools of the trade have sharpened, along with my own personal knowledge of sound production, the constant learning curve we are all subjected to has been on the unstoppable exponential increase. Taking that into account, we could assume that things will continue to sharpen and focus until we all explode in some sort of megalithic crescendo. Wouldn't that be nice."
