Sophie - Bipp/Elle


Cleanup here.  Out on Numbers.  Hailing from the UK, of Scottish origin, based in London. "Tune of the summer" according to lil mufasa, if you care what he thinks. Less vapidly put:
It barely even has a kick drum, much less a regular one. The foundations of the rhythmic architecture are almost entirely hidden inside its deceptive bulk, wrapped in the blobs of curved muscle that urge us forward, wave upon peristaltic wave, as fleshy antenna arc above in an organic centrifuge. Sophie’s Bipp might be the first underground dance hit to have evolved an endoskeleton. There are almost no perpendicular lines in time or timbre space – sounds curve upward, glide downward, slide off another or withdraw swiftly into the membranes they came from, leaving silence. The acoustic is strangely close, enhancing the bass, and the voice is confidently post-human. And along with all of this is the promise, quickly fulfilled: “I can make you feel better… if you let me…” - Adam Harper
