Tippstrip’s Sunless World EP is a haunting, modern electronic symphony that pushes the boundaries between progressive house, minimal techno, and cinematic soundscapes. Released on the Obsidian record label, this collection invites listeners into a dystopian narrative, reflective of a world that thrives in the silence of a sunless existence.
Opening with Infinite Minds, Tippstrip takes us on a deep dive into dark, cinematic territory. Layered with introspective drones and dramatic progressions, it hooks you from the start, setting the tone for the EP’s cerebral and hypnotic vibe.
Next up is Merry-Go-Round, a minimalist track that feels like an eternal loop. Its pulsing rhythm draws you into a trance, offering a moment of stillness amidst the more complex soundscapes that surround it. The track’s simplicity becomes its strength, pulling you deeper into the EP’s eerie atmosphere.
Rumbler shifts gears into psychedelic territory, invoking the chaos of a surreal, adventure-filled video game. With otherworldly arpeggiators and deep basslines, it feels like being trapped in an endless escape room – a relentless, virtual reality-inspired journey.
Chemical Tides continues the dark odyssey with a flowing, undercurrent-like energy. The track moves with unrelenting precision, drawing you further into Tippstrip’s dystopian world, where synthetic beats pulse with an almost sinister allure.
“Sunless World is a masterclass in blending progressive and minimal electronic elements, offering a perfect balance of club-ready anthems and introspective sonic explorations. It’s a record that speaks to the void – its dark soundscapes creating a space where light is absent, and the darkness becomes the story itself.
This is an EP that begs to be both felt and heard, a journey for the mind and the dancefloor. So, dive in – but remember, in this world, there’s no shadow if you’re standing in the dark.” – Tippstrip
