For those unfamiliar with Flip this album a good introduction to what he is capable of. Dreaming is a thick record with veteran emcee A.G. (of the legendary Diggin’ In The Crates crew) lyrically canvasing his raw, dreamy production. With wider international renown, Flip is just now growing to recognition in the United States—better late than never with this talent!

Flip is a Hip-Hop producer based out of Austria with a background of 20+ years in the game. His sound is heavily reminiscent of Hip-Hop’s golden era, the boom-bap years. Yes, his production is raw, gritty and pure Hip-Hop, but it’s not stuck in a time machine by any means. Flip is not afraid to experiment and incorporate some synthesizer-heavy or non-formulaic layouts when he’s building beats. Not only is he successfully engaged in his production career, but Flip has also rhymed alongside legendary Austrian group Texta since 1993. Together they have a successful, acclaimed 7 album catalog, as well as a solo record he dropped in 2010.

On February 17  Flip is set to release his long awaited producer compilation album Reflections on Ill Adrenaline Records. He links up with some United States’ heavyweights on this record, blessing the masses with featured emcees that will include Elzhi, Guilty Simpson, Killah Priest, Kev Brown, and Tragic Allies. Mark your calendar folks: February 17 Dreaming will be available on digital copy, cd, vinyl and cassette.
