About Hippie Sabotage

Hippie Sabotage is the electronic duo of twins Jeff and Krit Gipson, operating out of Santa Cruz since the early 2010s. They built a following by uploading remixes and originals to SoundCloud, eventually developing a signature sound that blends downtempo electronic production with hip-hop influences and hazy, introspective vibes. "Your Soul Today" became their breakthrough track, a dreamy interpolation that felt simultaneously slick and intimate. The brothers have maintained a steady output of stripped-down production, often sampling soul records and building minimal arrangements around them. Their aesthetic is distinctly West Coast — not aggressively experimental, but genuinely odd in the way they balance trap-adjacent snares with lo-fi warmth and vinyl crackle. They've collaborated with artists across the indie and electronic spectrum, and their SoundCloud archives reveal a prolific, consistently mood-focused approach to production. Hippie Sabotage represents a particular strand of internet-era electronic music: understated, sample-heavy, and skeptical of polish.

Their sets feel intentionally detached, with production doing the heavy lifting while the brothers stay in the background. Crowds are there for the mood, not the spectacle. Energy is subdued but focused, with people actually listening rather than jumping around. Shows feel like going to someone's apartment to hear new music.

Known for Your Soul Today, Floating, Ways, Shine, Smoke and Retribution

Hippie Sabotage + Los Angeles

Hippie Sabotage has carved out a steady presence in LA's electronic music landscape, building a following that appreciates their blend of downtempo production and psychedelic textures. Their January 2022 show at the Wiltern Theatre was a showcase of their atmospheric approach—the kind of performance where the production design matters as much as the sound. They've developed a reputation for sets that drift between introspective moments and builds that feel almost orchestral in scope, the sort of thing that plays well in a venue like the Wiltern where the architecture becomes part of the experience. LA crowds have consistently shown up for their particular brand of electronic music that doesn't try too hard.
