Being able to evoke emotion and paint pictures with music, especially bass music, is a task each and every artist in the scene strives to accomplish with every mix, release and album. Whether it be to encapsulate feeling of euphoria, feelings of heartbreak or just bringing an overall sense of excitement through sound, this is the goal of every musician carving out a name for their project in any scene. One name that comes to mind when talking about those who have seemed to prefect this idea in their music is Tripp St., who’s sound continues to open up new worlds beyond comprehension. Today, we are honored to be able to team up with this amazing artist in the wake of his forthcoming set at Suwannee Hulaween, to bring you all a mix that perfectly showcases the range of not only emotions, but soundscapes this project covers.
With his set approaching fast, this mix gives a taste of hype that is to come with his set next weekend. We absolutely cannot wait to see him combine his beautiful and wubby sound with some of our favorite heavy hitting tracks. This is truly an audio-visual experience you have to see in person. Makes sure not to miss his set at Spirit Lake from 8:05-9:05 on Thursday October 27th. We can’t wait to be vibing at the Suwannee with you all very soon!
“This mix was a lot of fun to make! It’s more of a DJ set of some of my favorite artists’ music, and my own. There are a couple of unheard iDs of mine sprinkled in there, as well as some unreleased tunes from Chmura, Aptic, Restraint, Templo, and Spades. Road to Hulaween… can’t wait to play and enjoy my first Hula experience!”
Diving Deep w/ Tripp St.
1. It can be very hard sometimes separating music from day to day life when it’s your whole career. How do you personally separate your artist life from your everyday life, and have you faced any challenges doing so?
Music is my passion and to be honest, I don’t really want to separate it from my life. I wake up thinking about it and I’m constantly chasing that feeling you get when you make something new and feel the rush of creativity. That said, being anonymous has granted me the freedom to be myself and not worry about keeping up with a persona. In my free time I like playing basketball with friends, trying new restaurants with my girlfriend, and taking trips with her back home to visit family, which is convenient since we both grew up in the same area. I just recently tried one of those cook-it-yourself meal delivery services – it’s the most I’ve cooked in my life! Otherwise life is pretty low-key for me until I’m back on the road touring.
2. Being an artist in the spotlight, you have a continuously growing impact on your fanbase and the scene. Due to the nature of this, have you had any fan interactions that have particularly hit home for you as an artist and why?
I’m honored to know that my music resonates with people and I want my fans to feel that, whether they’re in my comments or at my shows. I’ve definitely had a few full-circle moments with fans, learning about them and soaking it all in, but I like to keep those interactions between us. It’s also been incredible becoming friends with other artists that I’ve been a fan of myself. There’s been a few great moments when artists that I’ve known or worked with in the past meet me at a show or festival and are so excited to realize that I’m the guy behind Tripp St..
3. With Hulaween approaching quickly, what do you do to prepare to play bigger sets at these types of events?
At big festivals with state of the art sound systems I love to play out my unreleased music and tease my next releases to feel the crowd reactions. I have fun switching it up so fans have a fresh experience every time. Sometimes I have to be reminded to throw in my popular tracks from previous albums because people want to hear those too, but I love playing songs they’ve never heard before. I’m always in competition with myself so my main priority for big festivals is putting on a great show for fans and first-timers alike.
4. What can attendees expect from your set this year at Hulaween?
Throwing in a bunch of teasers for my next album, got some heavy hitters in there and good vibes all the way through. I always try to make my next set my best set so hopefully that’s the case for Hulaween!
