DJ TR!P - SID Vicious, a mini album of music composed using a Commodore Amiga, Commodore 64, Nintendo Game Boy & PC. The word play title ‘SID Vicious’ refers to the punk D.I.Y ethos & the use of the Commodore 64 ‘SID’ sound chip.

SID Vicious is a lo-fi, gritty & aggressive release complemented by subtle & complex nuances of programming & production. One of DJ TR!P’s manifesto’s is the “less is more” (less gear, more flavour) approach. This deeply woven, dirt encrusted CD explores the essence of genres such as Chip Tune, Break Core, Electro, Industrial Techno, Glitch & Breaks & reinterprets them with an obsolete 8-bit brush.

DJ TR!P – SID Vicious - CD Review
“Local DJ & producer, DJ TR!P, may be famed for his eclectic sets around town that take an almost kitchen sink approach to the art of record selection, but on SID Vicious TR!P records a very focused selection of tracks busted out on his trusty old game consoles. Coming on an International Deejay Gigolo vibe mixed with Green Velvet-like ‘90’s techno, this is an incredibly strong six-track EP. Broken Speaker is the highlight, with a banging industrial beat & is sure to cause mayhem on the floor. The title track is also killer, as the old electro vibe has a retroness that unlike most electro you want to revisit – just wait for the old school rave drum breaks: awesome. Hunt this down by visiting TR!P’s Myspace, http://www.myspace.com/finddjtrip, as it will be a trip where the destination is worth the journey. 8/10”

"Local DJ and producer DJ TR!P, has recorded a new EP of grinding space invader electro with the impressive SID Vicious. The former member of The New Pollutants has used old video game consoles for his unique sound, which sounds like Green Velvet and DJ Hell going head-to-head on a Game Boy." [QUOTES FROM ALBUM REVIEWS]

"TR!P has almost created his own genre here; this music is both experimental and confrontational - are you ready".
DJ TR!P - Vinyl Perplexa [Onion Magazine] [Adelaide]

"People will be dropping this guy's name before too long, because DJ TR!P is the next eccentric genius of electronic music".
DJ TR!P - Recyclise Reinterpreted [Liquid Space Media] [Adelaide]

"What TR!P has come up with here I personally see as a manifest stepping-stone in post-modern electronica history".
DJ TR!P - Recyclise [Rip It Up Magazine] [Adelaide]

"TR!P has created a mutant tech-electro pastiche, equally melodic and psychotic, of world class...Recyclise will make you think and react. TR!P is to be praised".
DJ TR!P - Recyclise [Onion Magazine] [Adelaide]

"This is an album reminiscent of the likes of Trent Reznor & Aphex Twin, and should receive much attention from all lovers of electronica".
DJ TR!P - Recyclise [Hype Magazine] [Perth]

"Other Journo's comparisons of TR!P to Trent Reznor & particularly Aphex Twin are spot on, an esteemed list to which I add Lavelle & Shadow's U.N.K.L.E project...Yet another example of fine electronic output from this towns underground scene".
DJ TR!P - Recyclise Reinterpreted [Onion Magazine] [Adelaide]

“Inside, the ghosts of DJ Shadow, David Lynch and the souls of lost computer consoles…This is a captivating, if not mesmerising album that is one of the most impressive local albums of the past few months”.[4/5]
The New Pollutants - Hygene Atoms – Album of the Week 09/02 [3DWorld] [Sydney]

“The music on this album is dark, almost industrial and soundscapish at times, yet TR!P maintains a soulful, head-nodding groove throughout. His turntablism is excellent – enough to get you bouncing more than once. This one is a real grower”.
The New Pollutants - Hygene Atoms [Vice Magazine] [Aus, UK, US, Can]

"The use of outmoded technology is usually accompanied by a level of dreary sentimentality, however Mr Speed and DJ TR!P bypass the pitfalls of the humourless masses and again emerge with some playful, truly interesting and arresting pieces. ‘50k Backtrack’ skitters along at a cracking pace and has a great hook provided by the interplay between Mr Speed’s lyrics and a slightly disturbed monophonic synth line. ‘Return of the One Hit Wonder’ is totally worth checking too, especially on clear vinyl”.
The New Pollutants – SidHop 7” Single [Cyclic Defrost Magazine] [Australia]

“Another feather in the cap for Australia’s electronic music scene! Hygene Atoms is a defining statement of what can be achieved with nothing more than a bedroom studio (check the ultra lo-tech spec list!). A chaotic but clever hip hop abstraction. While their production influence may be hard to define, Mr Speed offers an engaging, Tricky-like MC style to the mix, with clued up and humorous words to match. Add in some truly clever, bizarre and amusing samples with DJ TR!P and you have a potent cocktail, made even more dangerous by the strong underlying theming. A lot of thought and effort has gone into this, and yep, it shows! All in all a shit hot album that sits so comfortably next to DJ Shadow and Tricky.[9/10]
The New Pollutants - Hygene Atoms [Onion Magazine] [Adelaide]

[QUOTES FROM DANCE, THEATRE & FILM REVIEWS]

“DJ TR!P…is one of the best sound designer / composers not just in Adelaide but around the country. He has that rare talent amongst composers, particularly of the electronic breed, where he is able to maintain a signature sound while still serving the production & its needs utterly. DJ TR!P doesn't just create songs, he creates small worlds made of sound.”
Geordie Brookman [State Theatre SA]

“Tyson is an exceptional creator of music who has a particularly diverse & unique body of work as an Australian musician. He has a strong & distinct solo career as a creator of electronic music through his inventive & creative uses of lo-fi technologies. He has an impressive reputation both locally, nationally & internationally.”
Sam Haren [The Border Project]

“Composer DJ TR!P’s lo-fi electronic sound score projects the crack, scratch and pop of tired vinyl, the result of too frequent playing by kids making their moves on each other and the world”.
DJ TR!P - Tanja Liedtke’s ‘Enter Twilight’ [TasDance] [Real Time 61]

“Timing is impeccable; voice and sound [newly composed for Twelfth Floor by DJ TR!P] just so; light folds back to reveal, or hide”.
Tanja Liedtke’s ‘Twelfth Floor’ [The Australian Choreographic Centre] [Real Time 60]

“Metropolis was a once in a lifetime experience… Speed and Hopprich’s score was a gift.”
The New Pollutants Live Re-Score To Fritz Lang’s 1927 Silent Film ‘Metropolis’ At The Adelaide Film Festival 2005 [Advertiser] [Adelaide]

“I don’t think you’ll ever get a chance to see Metropolis quite this way again… it was literally breathtaking.”
The New Pollutants Live Re-Score To Fritz Lang’s 1927 Silent Film ‘Metropolis’ At The Adelaide Film Festival 2005 [Empire Times] [Adelaide]

There is no doubt that this is a truly wonderful new score which deserves to be seen as widely as possible.
