Like other genre names, trip-hop, etc. It stems from falling out of any other specific genre title. In other words, commercial execs couldn’t think of a standard genre it could fall under, so they made up some retarded name for it. Where as Trip-Hop is supposedly hip-hop without words (how is that not hip-hop?), Blip-hop is blips and bleep sounds that move you… (…christ, I just threw up a bit in my throat.)

Blip-Hop is more unclassifiable beeps and noises, often overlaying abstract beats or sometimes even completely by themselves. Not to be confused with Electro, which is more in the form of rhythmic groups of electronic/synthetic sounds that stay steady and usually progress through out the song rather than scattered, fast cutting and sometimes jolting spontaneity. Throw a rock at the 80s and you’ll hit a song with electro in it — Jesus even I remember spinnin’ this or 9 other variations of it:

Afrika Bambaataa & Soulsonic Force - Planet Rock
(Who is claimed to have started it all)

Pay particular attention to the last portion of the song, that is typical electro. Blip is a bit different, other than the latter that I explained about its fast cutting nature, it usually has bits of ambience, atmosphere and variety, both with and with out beats. A good example of a blip-hop artist is Doctor Rockit.
I first heard of Dr. Rockit when I bought a DJ Food album in the mid 90’s, he remixed a song called Half-Step. At the time it sounded more like porn music, but in some strange way I dug it. I suspect I liked it because I was strongly familiar with the original Food tune, but on top of that, it exposed me to this strange form of music I had never heard and wanted to know more about, so I dug deeper.

Eventually I found a wide array of DJ’s and artists that dabbled in the blips and beeps, and some that were full fledge bleep-a-holics. The more and more I dug, the more I found artists I had listened for a long time having a part or even a full track on someone else’s album that was in the style of this experimental sound.
What is even more amazing, is the versatility of the artists who make this music, here is a perfect example from Dr. Rockit.

A classic blip track or what he is more familiar with as a DJ:

Doctor Rockit - Male James Bonding

Now listen to this track of his:

Doctor Rockit - Cafe De Flore

Notice any difference?

You’d be surprised at the different types songs these DJ’s can produce, I’m not even going to mention DJ Shadow or DJ Krush, which have always been my personal favorites. But if you’re familiar with the realm of the DJ (not Turntablists), then you should be very aware that the chosen form of what they spin or produce isn’t always the end of what they’re capable of making. And the more versatile and experimental you are, the better the music you’ll make, it all comes from their experience, whether or not they choose stick in a particular ‘genre’ is up to them.

Either way, a few artists you may want to check out if you like Blips & Beeps & Beats might be;

Autechre
Mouse On Mars
Plaid
Clatterbox
Metamatics
Doctor Rockit
Two Lone Swordsmen

Statistics report that over 87.3% of all the worlds bloggers are woman, in a recent study Jacob G. Rothshinzki, a Professor at the University of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, reported that:

A recent poll done over a period of 18 weeks through out the country of the United States and Great Britain from 2008 through the first quarter of 2009 indicate that about 95 out of every 100 woman between the ages of 13-38, use a blog to post their irrational feelings of the moment.
These entries, or posts as they’re called, are often coupled with a photo, ranging from anywhere between showing half their body, high-contrast downward angles of their nose and body, or other provocative poses only partly displaying their breasts or undergarments. Generally, these photos contain no artistic value what so ever, but they do help show viewers of their blog what they could expect to see if these woman actually spent time outside doing activities, instead of indoors all day watching Youtube and gaining weight.

Growing up I was exposed to a lot of music early on and even to this day when rummaging through my countless vinyl, I stumble on artists I remember loving and still do. Here’s a few examples.

Of course there is the obvious artists are like James Brown, not so much James himself, though he does inspire in his own way, but more so the Mo’town artist that were virtually unknown, those who made the music behind the singers.

A good example of this type of music is in Marvin Gaye’s T Plays it Cool — Which is not Marvin Gaye.

I’m also talking about artists like David Axelrod, who simply is a mystery to me, I never actually touched his music for sampling back in the day simply out of respect for the man.

Also, there are artists like Bob James, who is more well known than say Axelrod or MacDermot simply because he was pretty much ripped off by every 80’s hip-hop artist under the sun with his Take Me To Mardi Gras — but this isn’t that.

I can’t say I have a personal favorite of anything, but Galt MacDermot definitely made one of my favorite songs of all time. And yes, he was sampled by numerous artists as well, one being Busta Rhymes Woo Hah!! but nothing could compare to the original when it comes to anything — and this isn’t Space, though you’re close.

Carat Black is another, this tune inparticular I always liked, can’t think of one she made that didn’t have some sort of funky beat underneath her sexy preachin’ chocolate exterior.

And, who can forget Gary Pacific Orchestra? holy fuck!

Roy Ayers, my-life-my-life-my-life…

Ok, I just realized this can go on forever, and I’d rather listen so I’ll stop here.
