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

Live Music in Milwaukee

Milwaukee's electronic music scene is smaller than some Midwest hubs, but it's serious. The city supports underground producers and electronic acts who aren't just making noise—there's a real appreciation for craft. Hippie Sabotage's lo-fi trap aesthetic and introspective vibe should resonate with Milwaukee's preference for substance over flash.

Milwaukee road trip to see Hippie Sabotage?

Stay in Whitefish Bay or the East Side — quieter, tree-lined neighborhoods with actual character. Dinner at Colectivo's sister restaurant Odd Duck for inventive local cooking, or hit up Uchi if you want something more refined. Spend your day at the Harley-Davidson Museum if you're into American icons, or walk through the Milwaukee Public Market for the best cross-section of local food producers. The lakefront is worth an afternoon, and if blues is the point of the trip, catch a set at Colectivo or one of the Walnut Street venues while you're in town.
