FLIPOUT

Biography:
Flipout (aka Philip Cabrita) started his career at the age of seven when he was given his first turntable. By the age of 13 he was recruited to play music for a kid’s radio show. At the same time, Flipout was drawn to the breakdancing and happened to catch a special on 20/20 that influenced him to write his own rap about war. “I went on to use it in my grade 8 talent show and won. Then in grade 9 I wrote a rap about the environment and ended up performing it on the steps of Parliament.”

In ’94, together with DJ Jay Swing and Checkmate, he gave Vancouver its weekly dose of hip-hop music on UBC’s radio station CiTR. After 5 years they moved to 96.1 fm and founded “The Worldwide Ride.” Then, their show became the city’s first commercial hip-hop mix show. When The Beat 94.5 launched in 2002, Flipout and crew were immediately asked to join the team. Their show, “Straight Goods,” is currently the longest running hip-hop show on commercial radio in Canada picking up a 2007 Rogers Stylus DJ Award for “Radio Mixshow DJ of the Year”. As a breakdancer, Flipout founded the seminal crew, Contents Under Pressure and also produces and raps with the group A.M.P. The group has toured Canada with Rascalz and Shawn Desman, and opened for superstars including Talib Kweli, De La Soul and Mobb Deep. As a producer, Flipout’s beats have been requested by other artists, including Son Doobie, Checkmate and the Rascalz.

Flipout has received two Urban Music Association of Canada nominations for Best Up-and-Coming DJ and Best DJ Team, a Club Vibes Best DJ Award, 3 Traffie Awards in a row for Coolest Radio Personality from the Vancouver Province and most recently Jay Swing & Flipout won the 2008 Stylus Award for Mix Show of the Year for Straight Goods!
