Eliot Lipp

Many people would call Eliot Lipp an electronic artist but when his influences stretch from Detroit Rap to Chicago post-rock, it’s not surprise that his sound is a little harder to pin down. Taking the helm behind a Midi Controller that looks more difficult to operate than performing open heart surgery, Eliot leads crowds through a high energy set that is more than just a simple mix or two.

His sound is a fusion of ethereal synths and skittering trap drums that can easily segue from pure hiphop to borderline techno at any moment. His sets are full of surprises and are best enjoyed in a cramped club like L.As Low End Theory where you can’t avoid the infectious energy of the crowd as they bounce away under moody lights. Eliot leads the party hunched over his laptop, convulsing to the beat as he manipulates the tunes, evoking a chaotic unpredictability as he suddenly adds some new effect or trick to the track. Eliot plays music to really loosen yourself up to and I’d recommend doing just that at one of his sets as soon as possible.

Awesome show, smaller venue. It was a Sunday night on Mother's Day so the venue was not super packed, but still performed like it was a full house. Took time to talk to fans afterward.
