Elliot Lipp - Rap Tight



Music career

Los Angeles was very much a temporary home for Lipp. It was a move that he made for his love of music and his pursuit of making it his career. He was able to juggle his time between a job at a coffeehouse and his time recording in his cramped studio.

After long and hot days of recording in the summer, Lipp finally got the break he was looking for. His work (the same tracks that were rejected by the club-goers of Chicago) found their way into the hands of Scott Herren (Warp Records) and Savath+Savalas (Hefty Records), or better known as Prefuse 73.[1] Herren loved Lipp’s work and happily signed him onto his Eastern Developments record label in November 2004.

Lipp released the S/T LP that already displayed signs of what is now his signature sound by utilizing Sequential Circuits and Korg ms-20 synths. Music became such a huge part of his life, consuming all of his time and energy, that he left his coffeehouse job on New Years day so he could devote all of his time to music production. Tacoma Mockingbird, released in January 2006,[2]was Lipp’s next LP and released on Hefty Records, who has signed Savath & Savalas, Telefon Tel Aviv, and Smaze. Tacoma Mockingbird, Eliot’s second album, is all music which reminds him of his home Tacoma, Washington. The album took him an entire year to record.. On Lipp's third LP, Steele Street Scraps, he was able to collaborate with renown electronic musicians John Hughes and Earmint. He recently released a new album in January 2009 called, "Peace Love Weed 3D", which features the single, Beamrider. It was first reported in urb.com.

Eliot Lipp moved to Brooklyn in 2006, where he now resides. He is also a member of Dark Party (with Leo 123) and Lipp Service (with members of Pnuma Trio). He has just formed a group withvyle, called Auburn; they are currently working on a full-length LP to be released in 2011.

The album's first single, "My Mate Paul," was Holmes' first commercial success.

After releasing a remix album, Come Get It I Got It, in 2002, Holmes released David Holmes Presents The Free Association in 2003. This was a departure for the artist as all his previous work had been solo. The Free Association featured four other bandmates who toured with Holmes after the album was launched.

As a remixer he has reworked tracks by artists such as U2, Doves, Manic Street Preachers, Primal Scream, Page and Plant, Saint Etienne and Ice Cube.

Before beginning his musical career, Holmes worked as a hairdresser and chef. He also briefly owned and ran a café called Mogwai near the Queen's University of Belfast and, since 2009, has run an intimate club in South Belfast called The Menagerie.

In 2008, he composed the music for the "New iPhone" ad campaign. An album, The Holy Pictures, was released on 8 September 2008,[2] from which the track "Holy Pictures" was selected for the soundtrack of Pro Evolution Soccer 2010.

Dark dark dark - In your dreams



Dark Dark Dark is an American chamber folk band based out of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Formed in 2006, the band has toured extensively in the United States and Europe and is known for their blend of New Orleans jazz, Americana, Eastern European folk and pop sensibilities.[1]

In 2008 Dark Dark Dark released their debut album The Snow Magic on Supply & Demand Music, which PopMatters called “a strong debut”.[2] This was followed by an EP of Snow Magic remixes from Anticonartists Odd Nosdam and Dosh in October 2009, which coincided with a US tour opening for Why? and AU. In March 2010 they released their EP Bright Bright Bright, followed by their full length album Wild Goin October 2010, both to critical acclaim.

Pitchfork Media writes of the full length, “...perhaps Dark Dark Dark's true accomplishment here is how they mix sounds and influences so effortlessly. They comprise a tight, intuitive unit, especially when the instruments swirl together into an otherworldly eddy of sound”.[3] NPR notes how “Invie sings with a flexible, penetrating voice, shedding both light and shadow on the meaning of her lyrics”[4] and Paste Magazine describes the “...noteworthy balance that’s struck between beauty, familiarity, and surrealistic imagery...”.[5]

The single “Daydreaming” off of “Wild Go” was feature in Episode 7, Season 7 of Grey’s Anatomy.[6] "Daydreaming" was also used as background music in the February 11, 2011 episode of American Idol and in the Degrassi: The Next Generation episode, "Jesus, Etc., Part 2".

The band has also participated other artistic ventures, including acting and scoring bass player Todd Chandler’s film Flood Tide, as well as taking part in “Swimming Cities of the Switchback Sea” a SWOON project, performance art piece which traveled by rafts made of junk down the Hudson river from Troy to Long Island City, Queens. The band not only performed music for the piece, but helped to build the rafts. In May and June 2009 the project ventured to the Adriatic sea where it traveled from Slovenia to Venice for the Venice Biennial.[7] In 2008, the band participated in a site-specific installations at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (MASS MoCA) titled "Being here is Better than Wishing We'd Stayed," (after the song "Cloud Story" on The Snow Magic album), In The Netherlands for The VanAbbeMuseum's Heartland Exhibition, where they helped build an interactive installation constructed from salvaged materials. They also performed a free outdoor concert at the museum.

Mesh - State of Mind



Background

In 1991, Mark Hockings (vocals, guitars, keyboards, programming, lyrics) and Richard Silverthorn (keyboards, programming) met at a gig where Silverthorn's band was playing. They were soon joined by Neil Taylor (keyboards, programming), a former band-mate of Silverthorn, and continued as Mesh with this line up until 2006.

On 13 September 2006, Taylor announced that he was leaving the band to pursue other interests, saying "15 years is a long time and for me the time has come to move on and I need to give some headspace to other things in life".[1] Hockings and Silverthorn have stated their desire to continue making music as Mesh. The band recruited keyboardist Geoff Pinckney (Toffeetones Records) to act as a replacement for Taylor during their live performances.

Mesh have created a number of remixes, including a remix of the Apoptygma Berzerk song, "Mourn", for that group's 2006 cover album, Sonic Diary.

On 8 January 2009, Side-Line magazine informed that the band were working hard in their studio in Bristol, writing and recording their new album describing the sound as 'Grittier and more Rockier than before'.[2]
