Eliott Lipp/ Blockhead
After more than ten years of global touring, seven solo albums on labels such as Pretty Lights Music, Old Tacoma Records, Hefty, 1320 and Mush, Eliot Lipp’s status as an electronic music pioneer is known to scene experts and weekend warriors alike. Named one of Vibe Magazines top 10 fastest rising DJs (Summer 2013) Vibe says “ Eliot Lipp is making moves! …Signed to Pretty Lights Music, Lipp’s omnivorous taste in music expands to include everything from electro to funk to indie to downtempo and trap.” Lipp’s music tastefully spans genres, styles and techniques. Musically, Lipp is taking chances that are paying off in big ways. In a recent interview with Jay Z’s blog Life Times, Lipp commented that “People are scared to set themselves apart from the norm, but risks need to be taken in order to progress.”Perhaps this is what sets Lipp apart from the rest.
Blockhead grew up in downtown New York City. The son of an artist, early on he found his passion was for music. A fan of a whole range of sounds, especially hip-hop, Blockhead steadily built a tremendous collection of tapes and later CDs from innumerable artists. After a brief stint as a rapper, he realized his calling was behind the boards and not on the mic, and from there he began to produce beats.
Since making that decision, he’s been kept pretty busy. Blockhead produced 9 tracks on Aesop Rock’s critically acclaimed album ‘Labor Days’. Additionally, he produced half the tracks on Aesop’s follow up EP, ‘Daylight’. Blockhead has also been working with other indie giants such as Slug of Atmosphere, Murs, Mike Ladd and SA Smash. He also found time to complete a break beat album entitled ‘Blockhead’s Broke Beats’, with 10 hard hitting instrumental tracks, which was released on Mush Records, the US home of cLOUDDEAD.
