Elipsa

Elipsa — producer, singer, songwriter and DJ from Auckland, New Zealand — works across bassline, drum & bass, liquid funk and UK grime. She emerged on the DnB scene around 2020 and has released material and featured vocals on labels including UKF, DnB Allstars and Monstercat.

Elipsa first gained visibility as a featured vocalist before expanding into production and songwriting. She appears as a credited feature on Annix’s single “Nocturnal” (released April 28, 2022) and issued her own 2022 EP, Divine. Across that early period she picked up collaborations and co‑credits with producers and acts including Grafix, Annix, Kanine, Lee Mvtthews, Mollie Collins and QUIX — partnerships that map her movement from vocal features into beat‑making and co‑production roles.

Her musical style foregrounds the voice as a structural element inside electronic arrangements. On tracks from Divine and the Annix feature she uses close‑mic lead takes with layered harmonies and short chopped vocal motifs that double as melodic hooks. Production choices tilt between liquid‑leaning atmospheres and heavier bassline/roller elements: warm, sustained pad beds and delay‑driven ambience sit above sub‑anchored low end, while midrange grit and filtered reese tones provide the movement through the mix. Rhythmically, songs tend to pair clean, quantised amen/2‑step influenced drum edits with tight transient processing and selective use of drum fills rather than long break rewrites — a set‑up that keeps vocal phrasing front and centre while still delivering club weight when needed.

On bass design she balances a sine sub foundation with narrower mid‑range voices — formant filtering or tracked LFO on a reese or detuned saw — so the low end reads clearly on systems common to bassline and DnB. Arrangement techniques you can hear on her releases include sidechain compression between pads and kick for pocket, tempo‑synced delay automation on leads, and short plate reverb on vocals to retain presence. Those choices link her work to liquid and bassline aesthetics while allowing moments of grime‑informed rhythmic aggression where she collaborates with heavier producers such as QUIX and Annix.

Career highlights to date are specific and verifiable: the feature on Annix’s “Nocturnal” (April 28, 2022), the 2022 EP Divine, and releases or appearances on major electronic labels UKF, DnB Allstars and Monstercat. She has also performed live in New Zealand festivals including Rhythm & Vines, Northern Bass, Bay Dreams and Homegrown, bringing her singer/producer material to festival lineups and DJ sets.

Elipsa’s concrete connections in the scene are visible in her collaborators — Grafix, Annix, Kanine, Lee Mvtthews, Mollie Collins and QUIX — and in the labels that have carried her work. Public biographical detail beyond those credits is limited, but the record shows a producer who started through vocal features and moved quickly into producing and releasing original material, with the 2022 EP Divine and the Annix collaboration as key, documented milestones in her catalogue.
