I for one am really looking forward to more from Tipper.In the landscape of independent electronic music, a bevy of formative musicians, producers, and engineers are viewed as having pioneered the current paradigms in the production and composition philosophy of this alternative sonic hemisphere. Jettison Mind Hatch is by all means quite a solid piece of work and it’s a must for fans of intricate and relaxed electronic tunes (and not only). Which means that there is still plenty of time and space to see how things will progress. Arguably, Forward Escape broke more ground than any other release but it’s worth noting that Jettison Mind Hatch is its successor. Few understand how to wield the tools of the electronic medium so as to not only showcase its immense potential but to also understand how to tastefully articulate ideas and emotions. There are quite a fair amount of relaxed soundscapes that are brought to life by very subtle synths, soothing textures, and easygoing tempos. The glitchy rhythmical intricacies also give a nice technical flavor to the record making it a little abstract, something that is enhanced by the breakbeat element that is present at times. ![]() There are also a lot of psychedelic tinges that pop due to the extensive use of layers and dynamic effects. To me, it feels like there’s a lot of space like feeling, kind of like how new age space music feels but with a more active and engaging edge. There is a veritable gamut of moods being explored in this record, which, for a more detailed account would vary upon the listener. This is very obvious on “Sahra” but also on songs like “Shelled” and “Oi Oi Spit”. This is aptly contrasted by how the focus in the latter part of the record shifts to a more textured delivery that relies on moods and scapes to relay its point across. This keeps the listener engaged, maybe even to the point of making him want to dance a little. In the beginning, one can notice that the latter parts of the tracks tend to emphasize a more bass-heavy delivery, as it would be noticed for example on “Baleen” and on “Exit Chapel Perilous”. There is just enough personality as to manage a distinction between songs but just enough similarities as to give the record a nice, cursive flow that gives the journey a soothing edge as if gliding effortlessly through a windless sky. The crispness of every tone is also a big plus regarding this aspect, offering quite a detailed view, akin to watching the sun in 4K resolution on a projector.Įach track has its own unique charm, even though towards the end it may feel like they start melting into each other. There is a resounding spatial quality that emerges from the sound stage of the songs, giving the listener a sensation that could be only compared to drifting in space or in an endless ocean. The amount of tinkering with each and every little inflection really pays off. The immersive quality of the album is only catalyzed by the absolutely pristine production value that is present. It also gives the listener plenty of time to immerse himself into the journey. Clocking in at just a little over fifty minutes, it provides ample time for moods, feelings, and textures to develop and toy around with each other. Jettison Mind Hatch is Tipper‘s thirteenth full-length album and it’s a gorgeous foray into the realms of sound which are crafted, despite not breaking new ground in any particular way. While personally, I did not find the early works to be as enthralling as the past few releases, I still find them to be quite enchanting in their unique ways. ![]() ![]() I only discovered Tipper roughly a couple of weeks ago and have since devoured his entire repertoire with great appetite and lots of satisfaction. It would be nigh impossible to accurately classify stylistically what Tipper is going for, but I will do my best to shed some nuance into a description, as I will delve into the album at hand. ![]() He is most certainly not your average electronic artist, being the main pioneer of nu skool breaks and in recent years having crafted a sound like none out there. Release Date: | Tippermusic | Facebook | Bandcampĭavid Tipper is an electronic music producer from London, UK and has been steadily releasing music for the past two decades as Tipper. Jettison Mind Hatch may not be upping the ante in any particular way but it expands on previous material in slightly new ways. Tipper is back with some sweet sweet hallmark glitchy aural goodness.
