SICKFLIP is a collaborative and experimental solo project brought to life by Sarvesh Shrivastava, 21 year old music producer and DJ from Bombay, India (Founder of the Drum&Bass collective - Mental Martians)

 Musically, SICKFLIP ranges from bass heavy and chest rattling Glitch hop & Dubstep to deep experimental sounds. His music has an indefinable mix of calm & serene atmospheres to heavy and hectic sequences

 His styles are majorly influenced by artists like Bassnectar, Koan Sound, Nicolas Jaar, Trolley Snatcha, Tricky, Amon Tobin, Noisia and a lot more.
 
 He intends to collaborate with a lot more artists in future, making more music and hopefully soon unleashing his Glitch Hop & Dubstep Live set.

RT : Is a guitarist who draws his influences from bands like Pink Floyd & Tool. As a young guitarist, he often ventures along Acoustic and Folksy bands but his newly found interest for electronic music has been a major reason for this collaboration with SICKFLIP, his mate from college.
 
(Not much to say about her since she's my girlfriend and i simply asked her to do some vocals on my Tricky Trap tune)
 
Eskay : SICKFLIP's significant other, is a female vocalist (along with being an aspiring fashion designer) who has been majorly influenced by artists like Delilah, Goldfrapp, Ellie Goulding etc.
 
Dimitri Kechagias review: Rub A Duck is the successful case of the record label that manage to become a main label in the global bass music movement with dubstep/drum n bass/nu rave releases that stand out and become hits on the download portals. Tracks that will win your taste even if you don't consider yourself part of that engaging and really creative EDM style. The latest EP comes from India that seems to be at the forefront of the bass sound with the top EP by Sickflip & RT called Outburst. 4 great tracks that have something really unique in them.  Trippy Track (Intro): Cool to open your sets with it and bring that special filmic atmosphere. Tricky Trap: Very funky little gem with cool guitar riffs that bring in your mind modern road movies for sure. Fat distorted basslines,pumping beats and great breakdown with lovely female vocals that add that needed human passionate touch. Lif Off: Atmospheric intro with very cool Pink Floyd like guitar riffs, huge threatening basslines on the main part to add the needed energy and excellent breakdown with ambient sounds, dreamy guitar and  piano parts. Chainsaw Wreckage:  It sounds the hardest and the fattest on the whole EP with huge wonky basslines and a lot of attitude. Last but not least is Click Into Place. It moves on that funky dubstep sound with funky quitar riffs, vocal samples and some old school dub influence in it.  Highly recommended! Like iT!
