Wellington, New Zealand (2005 – present)

Pip Brown (born c. 1979), better known by her stage name Ladyhawke, is a solo singer-songwriter, playing all the instruments in studio and touring with a band, since 2005. She was formerly a part of the Wellington, New Zealand band Two Lane Blacktop and the Sydney duo Teenager with Nick Littlemore of Pnau. Ladyhawke named herself after the Rutger Hauer film Ladyhawke. Ladyhawke is best known for the 2008 single “Paris Is Burning”, which she wrote after a visit to Paris. Her debut album was released on Modular in September 2008.

Born with Asperger’s Syndrome, Pip was a music-obsessed child with very musical parents (step-father a drummer, mother a singer), she soaked up everything from the 70’s and 80’s. From Stevie Nicks and Joan Jett to Nirvana and Hole with Van Halen and Deep Purple in between. The result is a refreshing blend of rock, dance and classic song writing. As well as writing

Back Of The Van, Pip also plays the drums, guitar and synth on the track.

For this mix package the original producer of the track gets involved once again for the Van She Tech ‘Turbo Fire Engine’ mix… a nice half-time intro builds to a thumping thrilling ride thru roaring bass and pumped up synth lines! Fred Falke is on a roll at the moment with his excellent EP on Work It Baby and a recent run of amazing remixes… this one is no exception as he takes Ladyhawke to a glam disco dancefloor and lets the song do the rest… very classy! Lastly, London based faves of DFA Mock & Toof deliver an elastic fun-fest that rides on the original bassline and then runs amok in the percussive department.

There's a certain nostalgic melancholy to her music and photographs, as if there were distant storm clouds hanging overhead. Her serious expression and rich vocal tone add to this effect. But the lush expanse of synthesizer brings a powerful balance and keeps the music from sounding whiny or weepy. When I listen to Ladyhawke, I feel like I'm waking up from a dream that I can't remember...
