DARK PARTY is the electronic dance project of popular Brooklyn-based beats producer ELIOT LIPP and his Chicago-based friend LEO123. They produce and DJ electronic music influenced by Hip-Hop, Disco, Electro and Techno, each with their own respective critically hailed releases.

Eliot has seen past international success having released albums on his own Old Tacoma label, as well as labels like Hefty, Mush, and EastDev. Leo has produced for MCs like Subtitle, and No Can Do, collaborated/remixed with John Hughes, Vyle and STS9, while also releasing some of his own productions on Mush and Old Tacoma Records.

Having originally met at The San Francisco Art Institute several years ago, the Dark Party project actually didn’t come together until 2005 - formed as an outlet to pay tribute to the duo's favorite classic Electro, Disco & Hip-Hop producers, while forging their own path towards the perfect modern beat. Dark Party creates fun, upbeat, electro-funk masterpieces - a bit more upbeat & dancier than their own respective solo ventures. Their sound could sometimes be compared to modern acts like Metro Area/Morgan Geist, Daft Punk, DFA, Jimmy Edgar, while giving nods to classic dance beats from the 80’s & 90’s (like Mantronix, Newcleus, Model 500/Juan Atkins, etc). It’s a sound that equally pulls & pushes from the past, present and future, while the songs smartly morph in and out of themselves with a masterful sense of melody, rhythm and attention to detail.
