LP Giobbi knows this well as she's built a career as a dance floor DJ. However, she also applies those skills to the compositions of other musicians with a fusion of beats from the booth. Through it all, she employs a healthy serving of both inventiveness and serendipity.
A lover of the Grateful Dead and Bill Evans (and a musician herself) - jazz piano - Leah Chisholm (known professionally as LP Giobbi) has recently announced her LP, Dotr, which will be released October 18 on Ninja Tune’s imprint Counter Records.

This is driving music, particularly for rides commenced at dusk with the windows rolled down. Preferably behind the wheel of an automobile that requires a key for ignition. Call your friends, tell them you're coming to pick them up. In fact, you're already on your way.
