Tipper @ Seattle Hempfest 8/19/12

Dave Tipper Music set live at Seattle Hempfest 8/19/12.
David Alexander Tipper, also known as Tipper for short (born c. 1976[2] in Wimbledon, London, England)[3] is a British composer and producer specialising in electronic music that ranges from ambient, through trip hop, to uptempo nu skool breaks. His live performances consist largely of his own unreleased compositions, and he is noted for scratching his own sounds over his music, creating a live element of turntablism stemming from prowess early in his career as a vinyl DJ.

I have watched this so many times, so good. Sometimes I imagine myself in the tent, like a time traveller, knowing what's coming, every beat, holler from the crowd and how utterly fcking epic the performance is going to be.

[@ConnahJay]

I love the comment! That was a special time in my life, I rewatch this too and dream of being back there.

[@lowfinger]

@@ConnahJay Cheers, it's great to hear it still holds such a special memory for you.

[@Ryan-xq3kl]

thats why i see tipper every time i get the chance

[@nicholaspesce9934]

Lmao that is me in the front with the green shirt. I was barely 21 years old or maybe just shy of it

[@ConnahJay]

@@nicholaspesce9934 Nice! My group Medium Troy played right before him, thats how I was back there.

[@josuemagana7242]

Literally drove 20 hours just to go see Dave throw down at the Texas Eclipse for 1 hour. What a fucking legend. Can't believe next year is the last one, breaks my heart.

[@ckg1421]

I don’t even know how many times I’ve come back to this at this point. I cannot imagine being in this crowd. What a special set.

[@thisnotdog]

this set will be in a museum somewhere in the future

[@ConnahJay]

KZbin museum!

[@Methodman666]

I hope that everybody involved with this video is alive and well in 2022. This looks like a wild ride and this video is always fun to come back to.

[@ConnahJay]

Dave is such a nice and genuine guy. He deserves all the success in the world. ;)

[@tiffanyross650]

YES

[@andrewblanquart9515]

I will see Tipper one day and it will be a pinnacle experience in which i will shit myself.

[@Zenjedi99v2]

You will several times to come. Just BE THERE.

[@steveo21882]

Still waiting to catch this fucker

[@Braek-xyz]

happened to me at nola 2020, he deep sixed my ass

[@negusplox]

hope you got to see him in the 8 years it’s been since this comment

[@Turnoutburndown]

God man, love the variety of Tipper's live acts. He has this style, his downtempo stuff, and then balls to the wall rave style like his set at Sonic Bloom. He also seems to have the humility of a man who has been putting his heart and soul into his music for the last 20 years.

[@LoVeAmBiEnT]

Dave is one of the best producers on the planet.

[@Avrgjsph]

One of?

[@tiffanyross650]

AGREED HE IS

[@maximilianrobot]

Dave Tipper is an OG man, seeing him drugged up or seeing him sober is the same blessed experience. His talent is S tier

[@UncleCatfish]

Who still comes back to this even in 2022? :)

[@hgfskate]

still recovering from two nights of Tipper at Red Rocks this past weekend, had to come back to this video to have my mind blown again. the man is simply from another planet.

[@masterofbombs2]

these days it's hard to imagine tipper playing in front of a crowd this small

I'd take a crowd this incredibly engaged with the performance & having this much fun just straight vibing to these amazing sounds, over a gigantic crowd of static (Just here for the selfies) morons any day!.

[@AK-om5ew]

i'd still like to imagine it. hopefully some of what's happening right now (summer 2020) will trim the fat a bit

A simple man sharing what he’s learned through this great journey

[@ianbaker64]

beat bopper kids please save your snarky comments, any artist you see at your raves doesnt stack up even half as high as dave tipper. he is a legend, if u argue please go to ur "rave" dosed, then go see dave sober, dave still wins all day. add some doses in their and ur touching on something im not sure is even allowed

[@alnbkr6411]

Fucking amen

[@gwoody4003]

I can not tell these days if everyone else is trying to sound like tipper, or he just does what they do and shows them how to do it 100 times better. Best description I heard at Resonance: His music sounds dripping wet. God put Gretzky on earth to play hockey, MJ to play basketball, and Dave Tipper to make Electronic music.

[@lodellas]

This is the best thing I've ever heard

[@Crazylegs5516]

Anyone who hates on Bassnectar strictly because he rivals Tipper (or surpasses) smokes mids ;] grow up and quit hating. Nectar and Tipper are the bees and the knees. If you can't see that, then smoke some deems nd put on Fsosf by Bassnectar or something. You'll figure out they're both masterminds. I personally get my mind blown by both of them. I happen to like Bassnectar more. You don't see me hating on Tippers fart noises and constant scratch sounds. Yes, I can find shit to hate on about Tipper, but I don't because he is a beast and a respect the shit out of his art even though it isn't %100 my bread n butter. I'll say it again. Grow up.

[@Ryan-xq3kl]

lmao, bass nectar is not even in the same genre IMO

[@wired-up5677]

I love nectar but this is funny shit

[@connormichael2009]

I've gotten to see tipper 5 times this year. ❤️

[@Sqlut]

i think for medical reasons he showed only once a year last i checked, hope he does better now then

[@TheNiicckkm]

his manager has publicly stated that there was never an issue with his health

[@thesleepstate]

This show was shot as he was awaiting life saving major heart surgery! The surgery was successful, but I'm sure he'll have been given advice from a cardiologist as to how much energy to expend..

[@Trix1m]

do you even run on, bro?

[@daddydidnt9700]

So fucking heady bro

[@jeremiahbullfrog1844]

idk man, Dave seems to come off to me as someone with a humble grace, not flaunting any ego or hiding behind a facade to please the crowd... he seems more engrossed in actually making, you know, music.

[@Darktr00per666]

Seen Tipper 6 times now, I've yet to see a set as funky as this. Just makes him that much more amazing knowing that you can own all his music, and see him every time he comes to town, yet you still have no idea what your about to hear :)

[@breath888]

Seriously, I'm crushed every time this clip abruptly ends! Just get so caught up in his grooves. Love Tipper. Grateful to Conyej for posting this. Thanks!

[@jamey909]

Fantastic music. Great range of sounds. Very interesting transitions, and many wonderful surprises throughout.

[@ckg1421]

Always come back to this - so funky, and I love being able to watch the crowd enjoying themselves!

[@Ryan-xq3kl]

I love when he's mixing that fresh Luke VIbert track in the middle :D

[@jacobtarpley8549]

i still come back to this video every 6 months gr eat everytime

[@444CKTV]

Legendary video forever

[@djflipflop]

Ive definitely watched this numerous times since i found this on your page a while back. AMAZING fucking set. Really sets a different type of bar for DJing shit in my books. Such a variety blend of im guessing, all his own production? Its too cohesive to not be. If so, hes got insane music selection. Need to find more of his performances. Definitely appreciate this upload dude!

[@ConnahJay]

Yeah pretty sure it’s a large percent his own production. Invisibl Skratch Piklz played at one of his hippy bass music festivals years back… always thought that was pretty cool. If you can look uo “Tipper Tepid Bile”, the cuts are freaking sick in that one.

[@andrewbarker2395]

Just saw tipper and g jones with bassnectar for New Year's Eve. No fuckin clue tipper went so goddamn hard. Had the "I smell shit" face the entire time

[@dickpatricks7998]

I can't believe tipper was playing with bassnectar. Everything makes sense now. I haven't heard much from g jones though.. Open to recommendations for other artists like these.

I really neeed to know every one of these tracks. Geezus kryst, this is the heaviest, funkiest, trippy-ist set, I think I've ever heard.

[@xenura]

10:37 is a song called "The Pez Dispensing Seagull" by Bran Richards.. crazy because I thought this was 100% a Tipper song... so sick, loved the scratching he did over it though. Bran must've been stoked he got his track onto a Tipper set.

true legend!

[@shrkb1te]

Guys a legend - the uk didnt get him - so he left, went to the states - look after him my cousins

[@TheJohnsofDoes]

He didn't leave the UK because people didn't "get him" and you seriously have no idea what you are talking about as he practically ran the Breaks, and then later Nu-Breaks scene for a good few years from the late 90ies till the early noughties in the UK. He was the one to beat both as a DJ and definitely moreso as a producer. He even said that the leaving the UK had nothing to do with his creativity either as he'd still be capable of making the exact same stuff he does now living in UK. If he has said why he moved to Hawaii i haven't seen it in a interview or anything like that, but it had nothing to do with people not "getting him" back home

[@earthresonanceuk]
