Eliot Lipp - Glasspipe



His Sequential Circuits keyboard might be missing a few buttons, but one listen to Eliot Lipp’s second full-length "Tacoma Mockingbird" and it becomes clear that those particular triggers must not be important. The shuffling beat and pinwheel playfulness of "Glasspipe" is downright minimal; its concept so simple it seems too easy. Lipp is not just an artist, but an engineer.

Jean Luc Ponty - Nostalgia


In 1977 Classic Jazz violinist Jean luc Ponty pioneered the use of the 5-string electric violin, with a lower C string as well as the Violectra, a 6-string electric violin with low C and F strings.

Ponty was among the first to combine the violin with MIDI, distortion boxes, phase shifters, and wah-wah pedals. This resulted in his signature, almost synthesizer-like sound perfected on his track Nostalgia.

Ponty's works have laid the groundwork for new age musicians and continue to be sampled by artists today. "Nostalgia" was sampled in Black Milk's "Bounce".

Dark Party - Status


A new collaboration from Eliot Lipp and Leo 123, Dark Party's "Status" is an electro-funk dream—a DJ could place it next to Newcleus or Dam-Funk effortlessly, its lush synth pads and sample-based hook bringing memories of Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo to mind.
