Fuel Records founder, Dave Tipper is a prodigy of electronic sound. Founding Fuel with Richard Warren when he was still a teenager, he proceeded to assault breakbeat fans with his seasoned sound of snarling basslines, abrasive breakbeats and warped, alien-abducted atmospheres. His production skills are hard to match, and his bass is coveted from here to Bolivia.

During his stint at Higher Ground [Sony], Tipper released one of the most powerful breakbeat albums ever: The Critical Path. Tipper's debut full length album twists and turns through the bowels of breakbeat, experimental, electronic-pop, and beyond. Utilizing Sony's substantial pocketbook allowed Tipper to expand his any creative inkling including full orchestras and noted female vocalists. After the disappointingly poor sales of The Critical Path, Tipper realized that Sony simply didn't know how to (or didn't care to) promote an artist like himself and so he migrated back to Fuel full-time and began his next project. His Sound Off album was a huge success with its mix-up of electro and breaks that only Tipper can pull off successfully. The compilation included tunes by Cold Fusion Mafia, Buckfunk 3000, Andrea Parker, and Tipper himself. Never slowing down for more than a minute, Tipper released his second solo album directly on the heels of Sound Off. Holding Pattern was much more dancefloor-friendly than The Critical Path, yet still delved into more experimental landscapes than most breakbeat albums dare. Tunes like "Tip-Hop" and "End of Make Believe" let listeners know that there is much more to Dave Tipper than simply breakbeats.

Tipper is also very much involved in the IDM & experimental music scene and holds residency with 'Echolocation', pushers of the 'electronic music listening' culture. His Crunch project with Mike Wallis has been welcomed the world over...Crunch's debut full length album entitled Nullpluze.n2, was released with by the eager hands of IDM gurus Funkstörung on their Musik Aus Strom imprint. Following that successful album, the duo followed up with the Laurel EP on their own label, Colony Productions, then their 10" on the indispensable Delikatessen records, then their latest "Crunch 2" CD only release again on Colony Productions (remixes by Funkstorung, L'usine, E.V.A.C., & Bit Meddler).

His latest release "Surrounded" on MyUtopia Recordings is sure to be an awakening for anyone who has the pleasure of listening to this particluar body of work. Complete with a Bovarian choir and orchestra (with renowned conductor Tom Morse), Tipper again pushes the envelope by delivering a masterpiece that is designed for Surround Sound systems. Available on DVD, this album comes as a bit of a shock to his die hard breaks fans, but nevertheless, embraced by all and placed on high rotation on their sound systems.
