“Tipper is the professional moniker for Dave Tipper, a British electronic artist/DJ/producer associated with styles including nu breaks, glitch hop, and downtempo. Originally part of the late-’90s drum’n’bass subgenre nu breaks, Tipper became entranced by the scene at age 16, when his older brother turned him on to the whole rave culture.

“Eventually growing bored with the fast tempos and repetitiveness of drum’n’bass, Tipper began to experiment with tempos — leading to his debut album, The Critical Path, in 2000 on the Higher Ground/Sony label. During the making of the album, Tipper began to suffer from hearing damage due to the elaborate and booming stereo systems inside his cars. With the problem sorted out, Tipper returned early the next year with his sophomore effort, Holding Pattern, which led to tours of both Europe and America. The DJ mix Tipper Presents Sound Off appeared later in 2001 via the Fuel label. Surrounded followed on Myutopia Recordings in 2003 and was one of the first electronic music albums to be recorded in 5.1 Surround Sound.

“With distribution by Kudos Records, Tip Hop marked the debut of his own Tippermusic label in 2005. Incorporating elements of hip-hop production, it helped lay the groundwork for glitch hop. His imprint also issued 2006’s The Seamless Unspeakable Something and Relish the Trough, 2008’s Wobble Factor and Tertiary Noise, and 2010’s Broken Soul Jamboree. The latter saw him embrace a downtempo, more ambient sound.

“After a series of EPs, Tipper announced in 2013 that health concerns would limit his festival appearances, and he released Dusty Bubble Box: EP Remixes to help raise funds for medical bills that included cardiac surgery the same year. After time off to recover, he returned with 2014’s Forward Escape, which hit the Top 20 of Billboard’s electronic albums chart. By that time, Tipper was making festival appearances with dedicated so-called uptempo or downtempo sets.

“In 2015, he released two EPs, Fathoms EP and It’s Like…, and in 2017, he returned with Flunked EP. It became his highest-charting release to date, reaching number 15 on the Billboard Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart.” ~ Marcy Donelson & Greg Prato, Rovi

“VEIL is the highly explosive, dark and mysterious byproduct of many years of creative evolution. Her former DJ project spacegeishA toured the globe, and is one of VEIL’s biggest influences, giving her the strength and confidence to take risks and set trends. She produces her own original tracks with cutting edge soundscapes, transporting listeners to cryptic dimensions where the bass rattles heavy. Her sound is refined but spicy chaos, weaving together elements from dubstep, drum and bass, halftime, and leftfield. The polished curation of a VEIL encounter combinces her live selecting skills, original tracks, and custom visual elements — making each set its own paradigm shift.”

Our tiny dismal planet in a state of ruin, Earth’s top aeronautic and interstellar scientists work feverishly on a scheme to a save humanity as greed, chaos and violence has consumed the very place we call home. The only hope we have left is to find a new home, a new place to thrive peacefully away from the decay that has become of our beloved planet.
This is the story of the starship “Great Red Cypress” an interstellar frigate containing the very seeds to create life elsewhere, piloted by it’s captain, Lawrence Francis Ogre, we start our voyage on the outer orbit of what was once Earth, Our beloved captain sends one last message to the one he loves before crawling into his cryo tube preparing for 100 years of sleep while traveling at the speed of light.
