Trip is Andy Hunter (DJ) and Martin King (programmer).

Trip is based in Briston working out of City Studios and is part of Engage - the people responsible for Hydro (Spiritualization & Aborigination) and dBa (Bubble).

Andy Hunter (24) has been resident dj for the last 2 years at the Creation Club night in Bristol. He recently toured in Germany where the Drum and Bass scene is now beginning to emerge from the underground.

Martin King (21) is a 'studio hermit' spending every waking hour in Engage's City Studios alongside Robbie Bronnimann (Hydro/dBa)

Andy Hunter explains the title and focus: "Cultural Shift itself is about the post modernist culture which this nation is shifting into. Rather than just hearing the truth and then becoming a Christian, people now say 'That's all right for you, but it's not for me thanks.' Young people are just out there looking for different expreiences, so we say 'Let them experience God.' We pray with them and lead them in worship to show them God, and hopefully then they will make a commitment."

With recent Mercury Music Prize for new artist (the UK equivalent of the Grammy) deservedly going to Bristol based Drum and Bass outfit Reprazent (Roni Size) the timing couldn't be better for the launch of TRIP. Like Reprezaent, TRIP is pioneering the Drum and Bass vibe that's coming out of Bristol, UK

Trip's new tracks feature the fresh vocals of recently discovered singing sensation Tanya Farthing. The future looks bring for TRIP

'Contemporary dance music without the relentlessly pounding bass drum...Nice! Another example of gorgeous electronic music from the ever-expanding sanctified dance scene.' Cross Rhythms Review

"Some of my best worship times to God and feeling close to God, feeling God's Holy Spirit, has always been when listening to dance music or when playing dance music."

Artist Biography and Album Description

There is a huge continual development of Christian artists who are on the cutting edge of dance music in the UK. Live Christian raves and Christian clubs are happening all the time in the UK and creative ideas are not as far behind the secular they are in the US. Trip is a major part of this movement. Trip are a part of a church called EDEN which is run by NGM. Close partners with the creators of the Hydro project and DBA, Trip's Cultural Shift finds its way to you direct from the origin of Drum and Bass music - the UK. It brings a distinct flavor of experiencing God in the dance culture. Following the lead of Faith Massive, this completely original project conveys a heart of beautiful music with deep spirituality. Trip has been compared to secular d'n'b artists such as LTJ Bukem, Roni Size, and Goldie, but have managed to keep a unique sound that no one has matched.
