Before 1992 Bryan Hollon, from Cincinnati, Ohio, USA, was into the guitars, drums and pianos together with his Sonic Youth, Bowie, Hendrix and Prince tapes. Then he was searching for something new and bought some turntables. In 1992 he set off on a path of discovering original hip hop sample material on classic jazz and funk albums that littered the Cincinnati thrift stores.
In 1993 he began doing his own radioshow and start djing at coffee houses and small clubs in the area. In 1996 he released his first record after been discovered due his shows in town. In 1998 he made the album "Circle" together with rapper Dose One, which was his break through. In 2001 he signed the Lex Records, a sublabel of Warp. In 2002 his first record on Lex had been released and this brought him as large festival. Also he got noticed by other artists which resulted in some succesful remixes of bands like Mogwai, Boards Of Canada, Venetian Snares, Lali Puna and others.
Boom Bip is a Cincinnati-based hip-hop artist whose command of the human beatbox and sample salvage has few equals beside Rahzel the Godfather of Noise. After playing in several bands during high school, he became a DJ in 1993 while attending college in Cincinnati. Offbeat turntablist methods gradually raised his profile, and he began recording for the Lex label. During 2001, Boom Bip collaborated on an LP with rapper Doseone, and provided remixes for Four Tet and Jamie Lidell. He also began a series of breaks records (Doo-Doo Breaks) for the Mush label, and in 2002, released his solo debut, Seed to Sun, as part of a contract between Lex and Britain's prestigious Warp. Blue Eyed in the Red Room followed in 2005. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide (from mp3.com)
