DARK PARTY is the electronic dance project of ELIOT LIPP and Chicago-based producer LEO 123. Each with their own respective, critically hailed releases, they make and DJ electronic music influenced by House, Disco, and 80’s Hip-Hop, rooted in New York and Chicago, the cities where they currently reside.
Together, they create upbeat, electro-funk masterpieces - a bit more suited for the dance floor than their own respective solo ventures. Their sound could sometimes be compared to modern acts like Metro Area/Morgan Geist, Daft Punk, Dam-Funk, Jimmy Edgar, while giving nods to classic dance beats from the 80’s & 90’s.
Over the last couple years, Dark Party have toured the country, sharing the stage with acts like Gaslamp Killer, Skream, Prefuse 73, Mike Slott, Pretty Lights, Bassnectar & many others. Their previous releases have been limited to remix work for the likes Daedelus, HEALTH, STS9 and Jogger, as well as releasing an exclusive song on the hugely popular ‘Ghostly Swim’ compilation (a Ghostly Recs & Adult Swim collab).
This summer brings the highly anticipated release of Dark Party’s original material, starting off with a pair of releases from their full length, LIGHT YEARS. The first single “Patrol Patrol/Status” features remixes from Ghostly International’s Mux Mool and Michna. And, the second single, “Flats/Feets” features remixes by John Roberts (Dial) and Mexico City’s Duopandamix (Static Discos). And, all of this is leading to the release of LIGHT YEARS, their debut album.
Years in the making but worth the wait, this is the music everyone’s been waiting for.

In December of 2009, STS9 sat down in one of America’s most pristine modern opera houses on a chilly night in Denver, CO to create the inaugural “Axe The Cables… An Evening of STS9″. What this night encompasses is one of, if not the most flawless STS9 event in the bands decade plus history. The entire show was played, for the most part, sans all “electric” gear including the common stage instrumentation of laptops our fans have grown quite accustomed to. To say the event was a hit is an understatement. It was a night legends are made of. So much so the band has decided to re-cut, re-mix, and re-master this into one massive release this coming June on their ever-exploding record label 1320 RECORDS. This release will be available exclusively through 1320RECORDS.com and iTUNES. Our target for the release is Tuesday June 22 and will be accompanied by video out-takes via iClips.net
Stay tuned for more details, sneak peeps at the video and re-mastered audio, and MORE!
The response to STS9’s first ever Remix Contest, brought to you by 1320 Records, M-Audio & Acid Planet, has been nothing short of fantastic.
