Veteran musician and sound designer Eliot Lipp has announced the upcoming release of his ninth studio album. Come To Life is due in May in collaboration with Old Tacoma Records and Pretty Lights Music.

Lipp returned to his roots in the Pacific Northwest before recording the album after more than a decade living in Chicago, Los Angeles and New York. Much of Come To Life came together over a single inspired weekend. The Pacific Northwest provided Lipp with new inspirations for his blend of sampledelic funk and techno­ inspired hip­hop beats. “The music I make is a soundtrack to my life” explained Lipp in a statement. “I made this record to help me stay positive while life was being a little rough on me. I discovered a therapeutic power in music I never knew existed.”

The album is said to showcase many different musical stylings and show off Lipp’s musicianship. “Somewhere between the instrumental hiphop on my first records and my more recent dance floor inspired beats, I found that a certain funk in all of that remains consistent. This new album is about an awakening so I felt it was important to dig back in to my musical past for inspiration. I came back with some well rounded electronic grooves.”
