David Tipper is an electronic music composer and producer from the UK who creates a fusion of electronic music with breakbeat, electro, ambient, downtempo, IDM and trip hop elements. Known simply as Tipper, he made a name for himself early on in his career during the late 1990s with his turntablism, particularly for pairing organic record scratching with drum machines. He released three albums starting with his 2000 debut The Critical Path, with three different labels before establishing his own label, Tippermusic, and releasing his fourth studio album Tip Hop, under the imprint in 2005. Tipper has since released all of his records under his label, allowing himself full artistic control of his industrial sound.
