The Slips is a not-here-to-just-have-fun project, these guys want to parade their music brilliance & shows off its bold, sharp & in-you-face electronic powers & demand for impressing reactions like ‘Wow’!
After years of hoppin’ between the biggest London studios doing magic with their hands for a star studded list of popular bands & artists, this duo has finally decided to take all the experience they gained & every style & influence brushed on them to put it in full use for their own benefit.
The Slips is a split project between David Treahearn & Rob Haggett, who were involved (in most cases sound engineering) with flashy names & multi-genre artists including: Madonna, Keane, Janet Jackson, Depeche Mode, Black Eyed Peas, Marilyn Manson, Fischerspooner, Britney Spears, Bjork, Natasha Bedingfield, Massive Attack, Gwen Stefani, New Order, & most recently the Spice Girls (Headlines).
‘This Time Is Not Your Own’ is a proper electro glitch jolter with a structure of a pop song, built meticulously to sound sharp & clear in every split second of it with a strong presence of a hypnotic melody & digitally purified vocals. You can tell such track can’t be engineered by any music newbie… a lot of the elements are well placed & studied to give a smooth overall result that appeals to any slice of music junkies.. They can make non mainstream music accessible without losing its credibility.
DL: The Slips – This Time Is Not Your Own
Some have called them the English Digitalism & Justice, some say they sound like Daft Punk & LCD Soundsystem, I really don’t see the resemblance except for the fact that their music is as good as the best of the French music scene, although they admit that their music is inspired by the European sound wash of Digitalism and SebastiAn, and by Diplo and Cornelius from over the seas.
