Reception

"Bipp" received attention from music critics, topping XLR8R's year-end list of tracks and placing 17 on Pitchfork's list.[4][5] Pitchfork described the track as "rearranging emblazoned beats and rollercoaster dynamics in favor of vigorous sound design and the sticky hooks,"[6] and later ranked "Bipp" 56 on its list of the best tracks from 2010–2014.[7] Resident Advisor described the track as "wet and slippery", and praised its pitched-up vocal, stating that "'Bipp' takes a tired device and revitalizes it through sheer insistence.[8] B-side "Elle" features more chaotic rhythm and synths, drawing comparisons to TNGHT and Rustie.[8][9]
