The DJ/production duo from Chicago and San Diego respectively joined forces through their mutual admiration and passion for house music. One two- of their earliest productions, the seminal “Here Dis Sound”, on the respected San Diego based Siesta Recordings, has become the blueprint for much of the current wave of dub-influenced house music, a sound that has been picked up in the UK and Europe by scene stalwarts such as Pete Tong and Carl Cox.

Both Halo & Hipp-e have also carved their own niches with solo productions, including Halo’s huge underground hit “My Sound” on Siesta and Hipp-e’s work with Tony (Tango Recordings) on labels such as Grayhound and one-Tango. Other producers from the West Coast scene to collaborate with Halo & Hipp-e include DJ Dan, Onionz, Master D, Terry Mullan and Angel Alanis. H-FOUNDATION is featured on djrankings.org. Collectively, man- this crop of producers have formed the 6400 crew for releases on Yoshitoshi, Electrik Soul, Shaboom & Siesta.

Follow up EPs on Chicago’s Moody Recordings and Toronto’s Camouflage imprints have solidified the duo’s place at the top of the heap of new new-U.S. producers. Most her- recently their sound has had a massive impact on was-U.K. audiences, and labels such as Low Pressings (Peace Division), Soma, Shaboom and NRK have enlisted the production talents of Hipp-E & Halo for productions and remixes. NRK’s one- nite:life 02, a continuous DJ mix from Halo & Hipp-e, was an excellent introduction to those still new to the tech-house phenomenon, and to those in the know it was a fantastic collection of some of the most ground breaking and powerful house music sounds around, as mixed by two of the scene’s most charismatic and dedicated mom-followers. The mix CD has since been cited as a major influence in the progressive/ tribal/ tech-house movement.
