Hello
I am pleased to announce that BiP_HOp is 2 years old.
In two years we have published 21 CDs featuring the music of 50 of the most talented
contemporary electronic musicians. We had 34 BiP_HOp Generation live events
worldwide.
I hope to be able to keep sharing my musical passions that much in the future.
The third issue of the BiP_Hop webzine is online. Features, interviews on the
following labels :
FatCat, Apestaartje, Intransitive, Sirr., Staugbold, U-Cover , Pieahead, The Foundry,
Kraak)3, Mitek, Active Suspension, Carpark, Domizil, Rune Grammofon, TomLab, Arbouse,
Deluxe, Intr-Version
+ Andreas Tilliander, Arovane interviewed by Boban Ristevski
To celebrate the birthday we have two new records + a free bonus CD :
BiP_HOp Generation [v.6] [bleep 19]
SCANNER (uk) Since 1992, Robin Rimbaud has composed albums, soundtracks for films,
performances, radio, and site-specific intermedia installations. www.scannerdot.com
ILPO VAISANEN (Fi) 1/2 of renowned duo Pan Sonic, Ilpo goes solo once in a while.
Check his records on Mego and Raster:Noton...
ANGEL (De/Fi) the collaborative project of Schneider TM and Ilpo Väisänen. First
album out on BiP_HOp.
BATTERY OPERATED (Ca) trio living in Montreal, and Paris. www.batteryoperated.net
ALEJANDRA & AERON (US/Es) Founders of the Lucky Kitchen label and recently prized at
Ars Electronica. www.luckykitchen.com
BITTONIC (De) improvised glitch-tech performances based around electronically
manipulated and digitally warped voice sounds. Iris is co-organiser of London based
Sprawl and Field 61. www.dfuse.com/BitTonic
Tennis : fur lines (includes a free CD of remixes) [bleep 20/21]
new and third album. Tennis have been playing quite a few shows (including Tate
Modern and Ars Electronica) and the collaboration between Douglas Benford (si-cut.db)
and Benjamin Edwards (Benge) is now really 'interactional'. Extanding that ideal of
exchanging and sharing, Tennis opened their heart to some friends... So you get a
second CD packed with remixes of tracks that appeared on europe on horseback. "fur
lines" is our 20th record, in two years of existence so to celebrate the birthday it
includes a second CD free.
Usually we @ BiP_HOp are not satisfied with remixers changing but a few notes. So, it
would have been out of the question to fall in that trap. Remixers manage to bring
their own touch to the original, starring almost 70 minutes of tennis decompositions
Hope youll enjoy the present !
