The new Eliot Lipp record blasts through lightyears of sounds and styles, connecting new school funk with vintage synth nostalgia. Blending loops and breaks with a pile of synths and drum machines the record pushes into new territory with advanced arrangements and cinematic textures. From long summer walks through NYC and early morning sessions in Paris cafes to stacks of Czech jazz from around the corner. This album is fueled by curiosity and audio experimentation as well as a deep dive back into the influential sounds of Mo'Wax, Warp, and early Ninja Tune releases.
This adventurous collection of beats feels both unmistakably Lipp and refreshingly evolved.
Wax Future:
Since they first met back in 2014, Connor Hansell and Keith Wadsworth have been exploring new sonic territory. Pulling from diverse musical backgrounds, the duo combine music that is distinctly of our time, but harkens back to the glory days of analogue recording. Blending a mix of hard hitting drums, classic hip hop and funk grooves, guitar, and an ever changing arsenal of analogue synths, the two create captivating music, that is as focused on story telling as it is on sound design. On stage Wax is known for their energetic live performances, incorporating live instrumentation, including guitar, bass, vocals and modular synthesis. Together the two have released music on various labels, including Atlantic Records and Gravitas. They have also had several sync placements on channels including VH1, and on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah on Comedy Central. The duo has performed and toured with an eclectic mix of acts, including Pretty Lights, Lotus and Manic Focus.
