Dance Around To Sophie’s “Bipp”
‘In every corner of club-ready electronic music,’ says Pitchfork, ‘the almighty drop reigns supreme. Whether it’s a wallop of sub frequencies in the beginning of a dubstep track or the subtle return of a thumping house groove, delivering that perfect moment where less and more collide can invigorate any given dancefloor. But if Usher’s masterful “Climax” taught producers anything, it’s that sometimes teasing the listener can be just as exciting as satisfying expectations. “Bipp”, the excellent new single (released this week on Numbers) from mysterious UK producer Sophie, adheres to this school of thought, rearranging emblazoned beats and rollercoaster dynamics in favor of vigorous sound design and the sticky hooks. It ever so slightly hints at a coveted drop, but the truth is that this cut is operating on another level entirely.’
