Dj Hipp-E from San Diego and Dj Halo from
Chicago, better known as the "H-Foundation" duo
in an exclusive set for radio Tel-Aviv
promoting their forthcoming album
"Enviroments".
Enjoy
1REAL Team
about H-Foundation
House music is standing tall! Evolving,
adapting, and continuing to drive dancefloors
across the world. At its heart, as ever, are
those producers and DJs whoÆve perfected that
marriage between rhythm and melody, between
minimal, hypnotic grooves and moments of
tension, laced with the odd euphoric outburst,
of course.
At its heart are producers/DJs like Eric æHipp
-eÆ Galaviz and Brian æHaloÆ Varga, house heads
since first catching the bug back in the days
when they were still sporting school shorts.
Hipp-e (ôIn Æ92 I had longer hair and all my DJ
friends had nick names so my brother dubbed me
Hipp-E. The E is for Eric.ö) started spinning
in his native Denver aged 16. Chicago-born Halo
began even earlier, aged 9, sneaking into the
Windy CityÆs Hip House Records, getting an
education in four-to-the-floor beats first
hand. It wasnÆt long before the two bonded,
having being booked to play at the same clubs.
ôIf you dance around while you DJ, you can hold
your piss for hours,ö jokes Halo. No one stays
still when H Foundation spin!
Re-locating to the Pacific coast, to San Diego,
set their studio partnership in motion. A
partnership that picked up plaudits and made
waves from the off. Their debut release, 1998Æs
æ420 SessionsÆ (Siesta Recordings), didnÆt just
find its way into DJ boxes the globe over, but
played a wider role in helping outline much of
todayÆs current dub-influenced West Coast house
sound, with production so polished you could
almost see your reflection in the vinyl itself.
Perhaps its not surprising that one of the
pairÆs favourite producers is reggae-house
legend Bobby Konders.
Even today, Hipp-e says that if he won a
million bucks tomorrow the first thing heÆd buy
would be a ôsuper stocked, super charged big
ass studio.ö Oh, and ôsomething nice for my
girlö.
As solo artists both Halo and Hipp-e have
produced deep, moody, house tracks for such
respected US labels as Siesta, Tango,
Yoshitoshi, Bluem (HaloÆs own label) and
Nightshift (Hipp-eÆs imprint). Their sound has
exerted a sizeable influence in the UK too,
causing ripples at both underground clubs and
vast spaces like Fabric, for whom they recently
mixed the in demand æFabric Live 07Æ CD and
where they currently hold a DJ residency. They
have remixed for UK outfits Low Pressings,
Shaboom, Hooj Choons and the Chemical Brothers
as well as turning in outstanding mixes for
Soma artists Slam and Silicone Soul.
Early singles like the æHomegrown EPÆ reached
the ears of Radio 1 listeners via the sticky
palms of one Pete Tong. Then long time friend,
DJ Sneak, suggested they hook up with his
favourite UK party crew. After a fruitful
meeting in Miami 2000, ScotlandÆs ever-savvy
Soma Records, massive fans of the duoÆs
production and DJ work, snapped them up. Their
subsequent H-Foundation EP, æPassage Of TimeÆ,
grabbed the attention of house, progressive and
techno fans alike.
With their debut album æEnvironmentsÆ the H
Foundation sound will travel far beyond the
confines of clubs and DJ boxes. æIt represents
the different audio environments that have
surrounded us throughout our lives,ö says Hipp
-e, who alongside Halo credits hip-hop, jazz,
funk, dub, 80s new wave and ôjust about
everything elseö as a musical imperative
alongside house.
And these influences work their way onto
æEnvironmentsÆ, an album which showcases the
duoÆs development as producers, as well as two
and half years hard work. There are a few
surprises in store too. The funk, as techno
fans are prone to saying, has never been far
from the forefront of H-Foundation studio-
sculpted tracks, but on æEnvironmentsÆ it comes
in the form of live instrumentation too -
thanks to the welcome addition of the Junkbeats
/ Twenty Four 7 collective, an Australian jazz
-funk outfit hailing from the blissfully
ægreenÆ hippie coastal enclave of Byron Bay.
ôItÆs mainly a community of artists and
musicians,ö explains Hipp-e. ôWe stay there on
our days off when weÆre touring down under. Two
years ago I met a guy, Davey B, and we bonded
musically. He arranged to work with us,
selflessly offering his band and their talents.
And the result is this awesome collaboration.ö
The title track, a sleazy mix of jazz, funk and
low-slung beats, clouded in dope smoke, is a
prime example. More percussive tricks and
studio licks with a downtempo edge appear on
æScenarioÆ, the ever-so slightly psychedelic
æSlayin The DragonÆ and a skanked-out version
of æPassage Of TimeÆ.
House is still where the heart is though, and
for fans of their output thus far, more treats
await on æEnvironmentsÆ. Whether itÆs the
hypnotic mantra of æNew Funk TheoryÆ (ôour
theory is that we should all just get along,ö
says Hipp-e), or filthy (and funny) grooves of
æSo Fineö (with its vocal rants about Tabasco
sauce and sexy girls). Or the sophisticated
æTonightÆ, its emotive strings and strong
female vocal a winning partnership that
potentially has æhouse anthemÆ stamped all over
it.
Next up, is their future live show. Which only
need to match up to at least some of the pairÆs
previous experiences as DJs, to qualify as
something special.
ôWhen we were invited to play in Brazil at a
private party it was crazy,ö recalls Hipp-e.
ôThey built an entire club complete with
toilets on a 16,000 acre estate, with an 18-
hole golf course. Then they flew me back to the
city by helicopter.ö
