Bop made his Med School debut with the stunningly beautiful “Song About My Dog” and glitch-ridden “Random Thoughts” and returned from intergalactic space in summer 2009 with more super fresh subtleties in his debut album ‘Clear Your Mind’. Then in May 2010, the Bop ‘Remix Your Mind EP’ was released, featuring re-works by Blu Mar Ten, Lynx, Subwave, Thinnen (iambop.com remix competition winner) and Unquote.

After months of silence and careful craftsmanship, Bop released his sophomore album “The Amazing Adventures Of One Curious Pixel” in May 2011, combining 8-bit chiptune sounds and deep, pumping house beats with raw, undulating basslines and slo-mo funk / jazz inspired 170bpm grooves, Bop has created his very own blend of existential electronica. This album was received incredibly well, gaining support from the far flung reaches of the musical spectrum – from Skream to Shimon to Mary Anne Hobbs.

Expect the unexpected and cast aside your drum & bass aspersions; Bop is an artist light-years ahead of the game and he’s determined to win the symphonic space race by stretching the parameters of electronic music.
