Tripp St

Tripp St’s mixes and live stream appearances were some of the highlights of that time for many, and word quickly spread about his crunchy, unique stylings.

Even though he had no official releases, across his four uploaded mixes he had 120 IDs under his belt, many of which were getting support from the top names in the industry. He followed that with two breathtaking albums, in Welcome to Tripp St and Different Worlds. This enigmatic sonic innovator has huge things on the horizon, so don’t miss his Suwannee Hulaween 2022 show!

Tape B

This rising up-and-comer throws down some straight filth.
