Contacted by Synthetic Hype, a Canadian Breaks duo comprised of two veteran DJs, asked Pipeline to manufacture their unique speaker helmet to use during their live performances and promotional tours. Look for the finished helmet to be completed in the upcoming weeks.

About:
Synthetic Hype is a Breaks duo comprised of two veteran DJs, producers, and sound designers. Known to benchpress basslines, these two mix grit with silk. Both originally from Vancouver, Canada - they veer from the norm and away from the brain damaged 4 on the floor crowd. Their no-nonsense production and 'against the grain approach' to engineering leaves most believing the hype.

It's a wrap! Working in conjunction with Mosaic Sales Solutions, we just completed designing and manufacturing an experiential marketing campaign for the Kokanee Beer Company to be held at the Kokanee Crankworx's at Whistler, B.C July 15 - 25, 2011.

About Crankworx:
During Whistler, BC's 10-day Kokanee Crankworx festival, the dirt-adorned put the revel in the free ride mountain biking revolution, bending physics and blowing minds with their tail-whipping back-flipping hard-charging ways. For the eighth year running, the venues of the Whistler Mountain Bike Park serve as modern day Colosseum, masterpieces of stunt and trail engineering, forum for the ultimate in gladiator contests and public spectacle. In less than a decade, Kokanee Crankworx has become the authoritative free ride festival, a supercharged magnet for the world's best riders, the definitive domestication of dirt in the service of epic endurance, supreme flow, monster air and gravity-fuelled mountain biking.

Gupified: Series One! A short time ago, Nick Tay, Co-Owner of the Gup Gups, a designer vinyl toy company approached Pipeline Creative and asked us to customize two of their 15 inch large Gup Gups for display and promotional purposes. Supplied with a blank "canvas", lead Pipeline Artist, Keith Lau took on the challenge of the first Gup to design and put a unique spin to the DIY (Do-it-yourself) vinyl culture. The result is a Steampunk themed Droid.

Look for Pipeline’s second Gup titled, Gupified: Series Two by Howard Lau, Pipeline lead artist to be released in the near future. In the meantime, watch for the Steampunk Droid to make the rounds at various Gup Gup shows and vinyl community websites. For further information on the Gup Gups, please visit their website.
