An innovative and widely respected sound designer, British electronic musician Tipper is a prolific recording artist as well as a successful performing act, frequently appearing at music festivals and occasionally curating his own. One of the key figures of the nu breaks scene during the late 1990s, he expanded and moved beyond the style with elaborate, technically advanced releases such as 2000's The Critical Path. He switched to a downtempo style with 2003's Surrounded, and with 2005's Tip Hop, the first release on his eponymous label, he focused on experimental hip-hop. Tipper's work helped the glitch hop genre evolve from its early association with IDM into its more bass-heavy, festival-friendly EDM incarnation during the 2000s and 2010s. Both his live sets and recordings have alternated between downtempo material (including 2014's Forward Escape) and uptempo tracks (such as 2022's Marble Hunting), in addition to occasional ambient mixes.
