OFFICIAL BIO
Regarded upon his 2006 arrival as a promising beatmaker looming in the shadows of J Dilla, Madlib, waterfalls and Dabrye, Steven Ellison -- known as Flying Lotus -- nullified all comparisons only two years later with Los Angeles. On that album, his first of five for the Warp label, Ellison distilled a uniquely crisp, spasmodic, and heady sound with elements of hip-hop, avant-garde jazz, IDM, and dubstep. While the abovementioned producers fueled Ellison, he had also been excited as a youngster by the '90s West Coast rap classics that combined programming and live instrumentation. His sound continued to develop as he put his own twist on the approach, recording with a crop of jazz musicians including the indispensable likes of bassist Thundercat and strings master Miguel Atwood-Ferguson. This process began with the turbulent 2010 set Cosmogramma and peaked in terms of acclaim in 2014 with You're Dead!, which crashed the Top 20 of the Billboard 200 and spawned the Kendrick Lamar collaboration "Never Catch Me," a Grammy nominee for Best Dance Recording. Ellison devoted a few years to various forms of film work and the operation of his revered Brainfeeder label, and returned in 2019 with Flamagra, his second consecutive album to top Billboard's Dance/Electronic chart.

Independent record label focused on developing a home for arts & culture within music.

From learning his trade as a DJ on a set of Citronics turntables and experimenting with his first productions in the early noughties, Mr Ripley is now a performing artist across the UK, Europe and US - with 2 albums and a ton of releases on some of the best-loved Hardcore labels along the way.

Fusing the sounds of classic 90s & 00s Happy Hardcore, J-Core and Drum & Bass into a genre-hopping adventure, Dave's high-energy sets embrace the magic of rave culture's diverse, inclusive, feelgood vibes.

2026 brings the release of brand new project "Untitled Rave Album" and some special tour dates to showcase Mr Ripley's nuskool Happy Hardcore sound!

Grammy award winning recording artist from Portland, OR.
