Erothyme - Split Rock Portal (Dillard Remix)

Lipphead is a production duo consisting of producers Blockhead and Eliot Lipp. Together they create playful instrumental hip hop creations that traverse wide musical territories.

Releasing via Michigan label Young Heavy Souls, the duo has crafted a truly individual sonic aesthetic that benefits from the significant wealth of musical talent and experience they both bring to the project.

Illustrated by artist Maddie Chaffer, the titular Lipphead character serves as the group’s mascot and as a tongue-in-cheek personification of the duo’s fused styles.

"On "The Squirrel from Ipanema", there was a subtle Astrud Gilberto vibe, so we leaned into that. Eliot took what was a fairly organic, sample-based mid-tempo track and spun it into a dope synthy electronic type thing. That process is really what this whole album is."

- Blockhead

"The Squirrel From Ipanema '' is first taste from the full length Lipphead album “In The Nude” due for release via Young Heavy Souls June 24th, and set to be available on digital, cassette, and vinyl formats.

The Squirrel From Ipanema

Lipphead is a production duo consisting of veteran producers Blockhead (Ninjatune, Future Archive Recordings) and Eliot Lipp (Alpha Pup) creating playful instrumental hip hop creations that traverse wide musical territories.

Lipphead’s sound is an infectious blend of atmospheric downtempo and driving electro funk.

Releasing via Michigan label Young Heavy Souls, the duo has crafted a truly individual sonic aesthetic that benefits from the significant wealth of musical talent and experience they both bring to the project.

Illustrated by artist Maddison Chaffer, the titular Lipphead character serves as the group’s mascot and as a tongue-in-cheek personification of the duo’s fused styles.

On the production of the album Blockhead explained “I would say, with this album in general, it was both of us taking things we were working on that we liked but couldn’t find a home for. For us this was a very “there are no rules” type venture. We allowed ourselves to be silly and unconventional with all these songs.”

Eliot Lipp went on to say “My favorite thing about the record is the audio cocktail that comes together when our two styles are blended. It’s refreshing to make music with such a loose process. We found ourselves focusing on our strengths, and trusting that our individual styles would complement each other.”

On their debut LP, Lipphead dances effortlessly between Blockhead’s journeying hip-hop beats, and Eliot Lipp’s synth-laden electronic swing. "In The Nude" is available digitally, as well as on vinyl, CD, and cassette.

D.I.A.

Blockhead and Eliot Lipp return with the first single from their much-anticipated second LP as Lipphead. 'Midnight Brain to Georgia' is the first single taken from the record and serves up an infectious groove that sets the tone for the rest of the album: namely fun, with sounds equally danceable and experimental.

"From the Back" Arrives Digitally, on Vinyl, CD, and Cassette July 28th, 2023 on Young Heavy Souls.
