Artist of the Month: DRIPIT
Welcome to the 5th installment of artist of the month! For the month of June, we have Bay Area local DJ DRIPIT who has been tearing it up in the scene. Fresh out of playing the 360 CRANKDAT show in San Francisco, CA at DNA Lounge, DRIPIT has been making moves that will solidify his name in the riddim/dubstep scene as a force to be reckoned.
Native to the East Bay out of Walnut Creek, CA, DRIPIT moved to Brentwood, CA at a young age and lost connection with many of his friends. For this reason, music has served to be important in his life as it helped keep his mind off the struggles of moving. We asked DRIPIT what got him into EDM, and he stated that:
“I was always drawn to the unique sounds of EDM, but the biggest influence was my older sister Kailani. At the time she introduced me to artists like Skrillex, Deadmau5, Bassnectar, and many more! After discovering dubstep, I was hooked to the sound and the flow – it made me feel incredible! From that point on, I was going deeper into the culture and knowledge of dubstep.”
Among some of his many core memories going to EDM events, DRIPIT mentioned that his first rave was something he would never forget – that kind of bass hitting your body for the first time is something that will stay with you forever. DRIPIT also mentioned meeting DirtySnatcha – that he was a humble and successful artist that he looked up to and was shocked when he bought some of his (DRIPITs) merch - “In that moment he felt like a big brother.” Among one of the last core memory experiences that DRIPIT talked about was his first time playing a show with an audience in Richmond, CA – and for all of us DJ’s, this is a memory that stays with all of us, that kind of pressure cannot be replicated too many times.
In 2015, DRIPIT started producing on Logic Pro X. Today, he is consistently striving to perfect his sound and style with every track that he releases – I'm sure many of us can relate to attempting to achieve this as well. Moving toward the future, DRIPIT continues his mission of releasing music and playing insane events. If you didn’t catch him at CRANKDAT, you can catch him again sometime soon. Be on the lookout for this up-and-coming legend.
