{"product_id":"experiences-lp","title":"Experiences [LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003eAs instrumental HipHop albums seem to be at an all-time high, ranging from so called lo-fi aesthetics to progressive sounds with electronic vibe, one of Austrian HipHop's godfathers and OGs on the boards has finally dropped an instrumental album on his own. The title \"Experiences\" has been chosen not without reason as it both reflects the personal experiences the artist has gone through in his 25 years plus career but also hint the influences and musical aspects that went into this album. Flip has tried to give insight into his musical influences that began in the 80ies with groups like Public Enemy or EPMD into the 90ies era with sounds ranging from Native Tongue territory to a DJ Premier or Pete Rock or the DITC producers, when he started making beats on his own for his rap group Texta. You can hear links to other production wizards like J Dilla, Hi-Tec or Madlib that changed the sampling techniques post 2000 with albums like Donuts, Hi-teknology or Madvillain. So yes, \"Experiences\" is sample-based but further developed by Flip with original basslines, keys, guitar riffs played by the producer himself. The final result though is not just a simple look back into the golden era but more a retro-futuristic approach that Flip tried to execute within those sixteen compositions. Additional scratches and vocal chops add more flavor to the tracks and as one song flows with ease into the next one, this makes \"Experiences\" an experience for the listener, too. While a lot of HipHop instrumental albums just let some loops run for two minutes, Flip took a more ambitious approach where continued listening to the album will reveal new details and musical ideas every time. Another fact that won ìt go unnoticed is the heavy punch of the drums which is due to the usage of old samplers like the legendary SP-1200, the ASR-10 or the MPC2000XL that Flip is still using, blending it though with the power of modern soft and hardware. So put your headphones on take a trip through Flip ìs musical mind.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFridays Live at Home\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNative Grooves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHold the Vibes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCruzin at 1Am\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnd Right Now?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSit Back and Listen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Thought You Were Ok\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMusic Should Be Funky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWanted By the Law 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSundancing 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat Are We Doing 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurprising Motives 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSunrise at Five 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Doodoo 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbout That Low End 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat Can I Do\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 673799471216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e BEAT ART DEPARTMENT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.17.20\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Flip","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58291909918801,"sku":"276403","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/3827059-2575602.jpg?v=1760736332","url":"https:\/\/apocalypsevinyl.com\/products\/experiences-lp","provider":"Apocalypse Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
