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 San Francisco

San Francisco's electronic and hip-hop scenes have always been intertwined, from the early days of local producers pushing ambient textures into rap to the more recent wave of artists blending genres without apology. Hippie Sabotage fits somewhere in that lineage—their production-heavy approach and atmospheric sensibility align with how Bay Area artists have historically approached electronic music.

San Francisco road trip to see Hippie Sabotage?

Stay in Hayes Valley or the Mission—both neighborhoods have the kind of restaurants and bars that make a weekend feel deliberate rather than touristy. Head to State Bird Provisions for dinner if you can get in; it's precise and inventive without being pretentious. Spend a day in Muir Woods or hiking around Twin Peaks for actual views of the city. The de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park is worth a couple hours if the weather holds. Hit up a coffee place on Valencia Street in the Mission just to sit and watch the neighborhood move around you.
