5 Fast Questions for Dark Party
The inaugural Scissorkick Roll Call — our new, easily digestible 5-question inteview format — features Dark Party, the new electronic dance project of popular Brooklyn-based beats producer Eliot Lipp and his Chicago-based friend Leo 123. The duo have worked on a handful of remixes and have a record on the way, and you can get a taste of the serious dance party stew coming your way with the MP3 “Status” posted after the “interview.” Enjoy the new bite-sized tidbits of info and thanks to Dark Party for being the first of what I hope to be many short interviews with your favorite SK artists.
