Tipper (real name Dave Tipper) is a British producer and DJ specialising in nu skool breaks 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.

Tipper is also the owner of the loudest car in the world, a 10k sound system in a Dodge Challenger. He, and like-minded people from his label Fuel Records, have 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.

His ambient organic sounds blended with technologically borne beats and noises makes his music extremely psychedelic,this combined with exquisitely timed and cut scratching makes him one of the most complete electronic artists today, creating structures and textures that in some other contexts might be contrary and confusing, but fuse instead into a complex, harmonious and sometimes dark structure that continues to push the envelope of modern composition .

His beats are a little amateur sounding at times but I definitely like it.

The few youtube clips from Tipper's 2009 shows are awesome - I seriously hope he will be churning out a new album in the near future :)

@ pilchardz: your loss; I regard this guy as the one of the hottest beatmakers out there ;) I suppose you've given proper listens to his albums such as "Surrounded" and "Relish the Trough"?

Tip Hop est juste une tuerie. Tipper c''est vraiment mon coup de coeur. Mélange idm/hip hop/ambient. It's a fucking genius.

"Illabye" is featured in a 2005 episode of Criminal Minds entitled "The Fox." Just watched it and nearly shit myself when I heard it.

Which album is that from? At the moment really loving the man's nu-breaks material (LPs The Fuel Years & The Critical Path). It's also cool how Tipper's sound has constantly evolved over the years - you seriously can't say he's made two remotely similar electronic albums :)

I love tipper and particulary this track : "everything is everywhere". Beautiful song

I must also add that Tipper is easily the best electronic musician I've discovered since Venetian Snares (a couple of years back), and that is seriously saying something. Anyone know if he's coming out with a new album any time soon?
