When legendary producer Tipper retired last September, he left a massive hole in his loyal fans’ hearts. As the experimental bass scene continues to evolve, fans and artists are looking toward a new generation of glitch-hop and experimental bass innovators. Jade Cicada, Mickman, and Resonant Language have all built their followings within the Tipper & Friends community, and their innovative sounds have earned them recognition as potential torchbearers for the genre’s next chapter. This Saturday, Oct. 24, these heavyweights will unite to deliver an unforgettable showcase of visionary art and music.

A Stacked Lineup Vero Funktion-One’s on the sound

The full lineup includes Jade Cicada, Mickman, Resonant Language, Schmoop, and Petals.

Jade Cicada, born Skyler Alecson, blends influences from the offbeat pocket grooves of ā€˜90s hip-hop pioneers with the innovative sound architects of the left-field bass music scene, crafting a one-of-a-kind sound and experience that has captivated a new generation of electronic music fans. Mickman and Resonat Language are both veterans in the electronic production game and have built massive followings over the years through their unique approach to music and original sounds.Ā

Openers from within the community

One of the most beautiful things about the Tipper community was its ability to facilitate creative expression and inspire art in the many people who attended those events. And the support those artists receive is often unmatched in other communities of the music universe. Petals and Schmoop are opening the night and are already fan favorites for many in the crowd. Make sure to pull up early and see the openers set the vibes correctly for a legendary night of music.

A Massive moment for the scene and a beautiful send-off

This is the kind of show that dreams are made of. After years of perfecting his live show with intricate production and immersive sets, Jade Cicada is ready to deliver one of the biggest performances of his career. As stated in the recent announcement, a lot of thought went into this set, and it will span his entire catalog.Ā  Fans have eagerly anticipated the show since its announcement in March, and the hype continues to build as the date approaches.

This marks a huge moment for many of these artists and continues to highlight the exponential growth of experimental bass music.
