Santa Monica, CA – May 5, 2012 - Cashing out the West Coast leg of their
Spring Tour directly in line with Cinco De Mayo, Samples (aka Ben Samples) and
Eliot Lipp brought the heat, sombreros, and glitchy bass beats to the Central Social Aid and Pleasure Club with their special guests Pool Party and Sublmnl
Sound System.
Presented by The Madero Group, Grassroots California and
SUPERGOODMUSIC --- this spicy late night party went off with innovative beats,
striking melodies, and elaborate rhythmic patterns from these heavy-hitting
producers/DJs.
Samples, widely known for producing in the live remix
project Fresh2Death, hails from Denver, CO.
He brought that matchless rocky mountain swag to The Central’s stage
with him when he dropped an undeniable set of soulful dub, funky house, crunk and creative
bass-heavy remixes that had the club’s dance floor celebrating in proper
fashion.
It was Sample’s beats that had the crowd dipping low and
getting primed for one of electronic music’s most vital artists. I caught up with him and he said, “I don’t
write set lists”. What were a few of his
highlights? Rage Against The Machine “Killing in the Name Of”, (Sample Remix);
Beastie Boys “Sabotage” (Alex Metric
Remix); and Samples “Drop Bombs”.
Known to EDM connoisseurs and weekend warriors alike, Eliot
Lipp , who took the stage alongside “the kid” Samples to start it up and kept
the energy at 180 proof. Not only did
Lipp preview new-fangled sounds throughout his set, he hit his points of observable
funk, hip-hop, and folk…all while demonstrating his intertwined passions for
jazz-fusion, techno, and analogue gear.
Sounds were profound and clear, the light was right, and the
electronic music scene was in full effect for those who were in attendance to what
SUPERGOODMUSIC, The Central Social Aid and Pleasure Club, and Los Angeles had
to serve up…no training wheels necessary.
Be sure to catch Samples and Eliot Lipp, who signed with
Pretty Lights Music four days later, on tour this summer. They remain on a mission of being devoted to convey
to you their freshest beats, turning inhabitants into fans from coast to coast.
