Hello
hope that you feel fine and happy to know that a new version of the
BiP_HOp webzine is now online and in english. It consists of interviews
with label-owners that we respect. The game was to ask almost the same
questions to each of them and enjoy their differences or common points.
Featured are :
Erstwhile, Morr, Staalplaat, Sprawl Imprint, 12K, Falt...
We are definitely satisfied and proud to deliver two new full-length :

TENNIS : europe on horseback [bleep 03] Aril/2001
TENNIS is Benge and Si-{cut}.db. An on-going London based collaboration
exploring digital and electro-acoustic sounds and
rhythms combined with 21st century audio software.
"Europe on Horseback", and shows a progression of the "Tennis sound"
into a harder more digital/glitchy but accesible
rhythmic realm, with dub and german influences to the fore.
Stay tuned for the release of the Spaceheads/Max Eastley collaboration
in May.
SPACEHADS and MAX EASTLEY : the time of the ancient astronaut. Universal
head expander vol.1[bleep 04]
From the first sound a different and special magic was evoked, captured
in one afternoon on this recording. Haunting trumpet melodies over soft
drones and textures sets the mood.
This slowly mutates to a world of high opera and tipsy beats that then
cascades with a metallic pounding. The music takes on cinematic
proportions as the terrain unfolds. Interstellar landscapes are
revealed. This is improvisation as a battle between the done and the
possible.
MAX EASTLEY plays The Arc. A nine foot long mono chord. One string
stretched over wood and played with a bow or glass rods. The pitch is
changed by flexing the wood. The string can also be shortened with
clips. It is then fed into electronic effects.
The SPACEHEADS is a duo mixing trumpet and electronics with drums and
percussion. Plaintive trumpet calls are looped across pulsing beats that
propel us into sheets of metal crashing and vibrating through tiny pick
ups cranked to the full and then spun into electronic webs.
And just completed the line up of the BiP_HOp Generation v.3. Another
monster packed with 77 minutes of music by :
NEOTROPIC (UK) / BOVINE LIFE (Scotland) / PIMMON (Australia) / ZONK'T
(France) / ATAU (Japan) / NOVEL 23 (Russia)
It will be out in June.
'Till then don't behave yourself and have fun.
