Bryan Hollon (aka Boom Bip) is one of the several artists currently exploring the grey area that exists between hip-hop, indie rock, and electronic music. Like Sixtoo, Hollon has managed to shed the label of ‘Anticon beatmaker’ and move on to a successful solo career as a producer. His music sounds simultaneously huge and tiny; I’m never quite sure if I should be listening to it on speakers or headphones. Anyway, here are two of my favorite non-album cuts, showcasing Boom Bip as both remixer and remixed.
