Beware: "Tipper WILL MOVE YOU!"
Brought to you by REGEN at the Oxford Arts Factory. Quality sound is ensured with the addition of extra subs to what is a quality in-house system.
Tipper co-founded the label Fuel Records at the age of 16, which released output from several other prominent electronic artists. At 18 he signed to Sony subsidiary label Higher Ground for his first full album release. At age 26 he signed to the prestigious L.A. based surround sound label 5.1 Entertainment,who released his first full surround sound DVD "Surrounded". He then set up his own label, Tippermusic, which specifically releases his own output.He has released 8 albums to date, as well as a host of other singles and remixes for artists such as Leftfield, Grooverider and Africa Bambaataa, to name a few.
Tipper makes music for sound systems, with a diversity that ranges from bass fuelled electro-breaks, to hip-hop, to intricately programmed downtempo, to full orchestral compositions. This music demands to be played at high volumes to unleash its lethal potential. With a musical background in classical training, and listing influences from drum & bass, to hip-hop, to electronica, Tipper has developed his own brand of devastating dancefloor creations. He is admired for being "streaks ahead," and his "expertly crafted" productions are dubbed as being "frightening yet refreshing"..."if it doesn't move you, check for a pulse."

On the 6th of February 2010, Tipper will be joined by some of our own home grown talent including:
Spoonbill (Melb-Omelette Records)
The Spoonbill project was born from an egg on a mountaintop in 2003. Since then Spoony has played countless live shows across the globe, from California's Symbiosis Festival (2005, 06, 07) to Nevada's infamous Burningman Festival (2005 & 07) to Glade Festival in the UK (2007, 08), Shambhala Festival in Canada (2007) & Fusion Festival in Germany (2008). He has enjoyed supporting and playing alongside some of his favourite peers: Amon Tobin, Tipper, Kid Koala and Bassnectar.
Recently returned from an overseas tour. The album Zoomorphic, his 2009 release, has delivered Spoonies signature quirky joy to dancefloors across the world. It’s the sort of plucky success that only comes from someone truly in love with the genre they roost in. When one indulges in repeated listenings to Spoonbill’s creations, like an aural illusion, more and more becomes apparent. It’s his level of devotion to the craft that means anyone from the casual listener to the fully-fledged sound boffin can find an abundance to satisfy their desire for original, intricate and highly listenable material.

bumble
The solo project of bumble is a hive of audio vibrations set into the air by an infatuation of audio play and music composition. It is the reflection of nature that constantly surrounds bumble on flights and the soundtracks to his often hermitudinal life (much to do in the hive). People know bumble as max.
After coming to the psychedelic fray in 1998 the driving power of stomach rumbling bass wobbling- heavily psychedelic music has captured his creative attention.
Creating sonically diverse music within software platforms, the unifying theme reflects nature, experience, perception and aspires to spark connection.
Max has been playing live bass-heavy, up-beat and down-beat creations in NSW, Victoria and Queensland (and recently in BA, Argentina) since the beginning of 2006. Recently playing mainstage at both the 2009 Tribeadelic and Cairns Winter Solstice Festivals. Max finds much pleasure in honestly recreating his music in a live context through playing in live synth and continually adding and filtering elements on the fly.
