During my time at the Weekly Volcano, I've written about Eliot Lipp so many times that I worry there's nothing left to be said. In case any of you are uninitiated (and how sad that would be), this is a producer who specializes in the kind of gut-punching minimalist electronic dance tracks that say no more than necessary, while also communicating every thing that need be known about Lipp, the LA-current/Tacoma-native. His tracks sound old and new at the same time - a trick that's being performed more and more by beat innovators these days. Lipp distinguishes himself by finding the essence of what makes you move, stripping away all non-necessities, and creating something that manages to find enough time for beauty and subtle in the middle of all those dangerous hooks.
