FLIP – Experiences [Beat Tape]

Austrian producer and emcee FLIP has released a new instrumental project titled “Experiences”.

The title “Experiences” has been chosen not without reason as it both reflects the personal experiences the artist FLIP 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 80s with groups like Public Enemy or EPMD into the 90s era with sounds ranging from Native Tongue territory to DJ Premier, 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.
