Abbiamo fatto una chiacchierata con David Tipper, produttore e dj molto noto nella scena breakbeat soprattutto per la sua perizia nella sperimentazione con i bassi subtonali, per cui č considerato un vero e proprio maestro, oltre che per alcune bravate pubblicitarie a dir poco spettacolari con la cricca della sua Fuel Records tra cui si ricorda lo "detronizzazione" dei Prodigy durante la loro esibizione al V Festival, riuscendo a distogliere parte della loro platea con l'impianto hifi della loro auto parcheggiata a qualche miglia di distanza!!! Tra le loro "azioni" pių sceniche lo svuotamento di una piscina, successivamente riempita con un baldacchino sonoro, che diede via ad un autentico quano inusuale rave party!!! In occasione dell'uscita del suo ultimo disco "Relish The Trough" (TipperMusic, Distribuzione Family Affair), abbiamo recapitato qualche domanda al laconico David. Buona lettura!


Hi there! How are you? Hello, not too bad thanks.

Why did you choose this moniker? Well.....it's easier than inventing a new name.

We reviewed Relish The Through... anyone asked the reason of such a title before??? :) yes

Any propose of collaboration/remixing after spreading this album? no

What about breakbeat club scene in your country? Coul breakbeat be considered a niche style or not? it's generally a farcical parade of soulless nonsensical repetition, which is considered a niche style by some.

Uk is maybe the most active country regarding breakbeat production in the last time... any other scene you are looking with interst? i'm interested in anyone that has something relatively original and refreshing to offer.

Some musicians are pushing a style which combines breakbeat and electro (and sometimes vintage) sound... in your perspective, what's the future of breakbeat??? unless it breaks free of its current state, it will more than likely get married, settle down with 2.4 children and maintain a steady job at a fortune 500 corporation.

Mac or PC? Mac

Some people in the wide discographic world argue about the economic convenience related to the production of records like yours... was it the reason you decided to develop Tippermusic label??? there is absolutely nothing economically convenient about releasing the type of records that i do. tippermusic was set up in order to release music that no other record labels would touch, because we are apparently living in an age where money is more important than art. sadly.

A lot of people correctly argues that computers changed human life in a revolutionary way... in your opinion, what's the role played by electronic music in this revolution??? i would say it's an evolution as opposed to a revolution. electronic music appears to be a pattern of expression generated by the technology that allows it to manifest.

any forthcoming works??? i have a new downtempo album being released digitally on SEP25 called 'The Seamless Unspeakable Something'

Hope to see you in Italy soon or late...
