We’ve partnered with Generator and Killing Moon to release The Tipping Point compilation for The Great Escape Festival
Key Production has once again joined forces with Killing Moon and Generator’s The Tipping Point blog for this year’s must have CD compilation, available exclusively to industry delegates and showcase attendees at The Great Escape.
The sought after CD contains tracks from The Tipping Point and Killing Moon featured artists playing The Great Escape: The Big Moon, Lisbon, Boy Jumps Ship, SKIES, Get Inuit, Remi Miles, Actor, Noah Kin, Coquin Migale, Desert Planes, Bo Rocha, John Joseph Brill and Ciaran Lavery.
The Tipping Point unearths the best new music via a unique Tippers Network of reliable tastemakers across the UK. Tips are featured five days a week, with thousands of music industry figures receiving fortnightly email roundups. www.tipping-point.co.uk
Killing Moon was founded as a new music blog in 2011 by Achal Dhillon following his departure as an A&R/Artist Manager from Quest Management, having previously worked as an A&R scout at Mercury Records UK. In the same year, Killing Moon was shortlisted for Best Blog in the Record Of The Day Awards. It then evolved into a label and within 4 years had over 70 releases under its belt, such as Fickle Friends, Racing Glaciers, Philco Fiction and many more both as standalone single, EP and album releases, but also via its hugely-successful “New Moons” compilation series which saw the first commercial releases from the likes of Slaves, Fatherson, Model Aeroplanes, Laurel and more.

Ach Dhillon from Killing Moon said "We were delighted to be asked to help curate the much-coveted Great Escape compilation in 2014; the idea of inflicting our musical tastes on the rather-expansive delegate attendees to one of the largest showcase festivals in the world, not to mention one of my personal favourites, was rather appealing all-round. So we were super stoked to be asked to do this again with our good pals over at Generator – purveyors of all good things musical and independent – and look forward to invading people’s earlobes with some of our very favourite releases both on- and off-Killing Moon. It really is just about spreading the word about incredible music, of which there is plenty around now. See youse lot down in B-town in May!”
Bob Allan from Generator said “We’re very excited to once again to curate an exclusive compilation for all delegates at The Great Escape, our amazing network of tippers send us the best new music from all over the UK and we’ve packed as many of our favourites on to this year’s CD. The Tipping Point network shares our ethos for championing new music and it’s great to team up once again with Killing Moon who tip a load of great music our way and bring some of their best artists to the compilation. Thanks to Key Production, every single conference delegate will be given an exclusive 13-track compilation, allowing industry guests to check out some of best emerging artists at The Great Escape.”
Kath Summersgill from Key Production said “Key Production has always championed independent artists and labels. To Key, The Tipping Point is part of that process, creating that magic moment when new music comes alive! Key is proud to be part of this and helping to co-design and manufacture this year’s CD, which we think compliments and brilliantly illuminates the new talent The Tipping Point showcases.”
