Tanlines
So I can’t believe I haven’t mentioned Tanlines on here. First heard their name through this Au Revoir Simone remix they made. Later I came across their track “New Flowers” and rocked out on that for a couple of months. They were the opening band for the Julian Casablancas show a few weeks ago here [...]
Karl Blau + Lake
I recently engineered a show for K Records legend Karl Blau + Lake and thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the experience. The artists were very chill, the music was gorgeous and the crowd dug from start to finish. A good chunk of my life has been spent running around the suburbs of Seattle, and this [...]
Breakbot, “Baby I’m Yours”
I am very ready to see Breakbot in two weeks. This new track is excellent. His first offical EP on Ed Banger drops on Valentines Day. Breakbot – Baby I’m Yours feat. Irfane
Not Justice, “Beginning of the End”
I was recently shown the DVD portion of Justice‘s A Cross The Universe, and it got me thinking about how their upcoming release was going to stack up against new material from Daft Punk and Breakbot. This is going to be an interesting a year for the heavy hitters. Is this really Justice? Nope. Steve [...]
Monsters of Folk
A friend emailed me this Monsters of Folk track, and I had never heard of them prior. According to allmusic, they “were formed around the talents of indie rock giants Conor Oberst and Mike Mogis (Bright Eyes), M. Ward (She & Him), and Jim James (My Morning Jacket)“. Outrageous, Monsters of Folk indeed, how cheeky. [...]
Beach House, “Teen Dream”
I am obsessed with Beach House, and I’m okay with that. I have been waiting for this day for a while, ever since I heard whispers about Teen Dream in the fall. I had remarkably high expectations about this album, but it was so hyped that I initially became wary. Then I heard “Norway” and [...]
Dibiase
Dibiase is a producer/mc from Los Angeles who makes some wicked beats. Named after a pretty hilarious wrestler, he’s been getting a lot of attention for his 8-bit laden rhythms and performances with D.I.D. favorites Ras G, The Gaslamp Killer and Flying Lotus. Check out his recent recent collaboration with PUDGE. Dibiase – May The [...]
Bullion mix for FACT
I just received an email about a new mix Bullion made for the people over at FACT Magazine. Lots of Krautrock, afro-funk, avant-garde electronics and dreamy 70s rock going down that really highlights how exceptional he is as a DJ. It’s only going to be available for three weeks, so head on over to FACT [...]
Rusko
I’ve heard Rusko‘s name being thrown around a lot lately, and his recent production for M.I.A. convinced me to check out the rest of his work. This Leeds native makes a pretty hard form of dubstep that’s been able to transcend genres. He also makes some pretty radical remixes. The UK sure has been grinding out [...]
Danger
I discovered Danger around the same time that I first heard Breakbot (way back in 2007), and his upcoming release through Ekleroshock has been getting me really excited. Part producer/graphic desinger/DJ this Frenchman is clearly influenced by Dario Argento/John Carpenter soundtracks and early nineties video games. He did a pretty excellent interview with the guys [...]
WHO WE ARE
Dipped in Dollars (D.I.D.) is the brainchild of Chief and Danger. While attending a crazy liberal arts college in Vermont, we realized our mutual love of righteous dance music, art, and the people behind them. D.I.D. exists to share this love with you and hopefully turn you on to something new. More about the brains behind the brawn, here.
This site exists to promote artists, if you hear something you like, think about throwing the artist(s) a few dollars, buy an album, go to a concert, show them you care. If any artists or official people want us to take any of our links down, just shoot us an email and we'll take care of it. Happy Listening!
