Natty Nature meets Bass Culture Players "Country Living showcase"

This new showcase released in Autumn 2017 is the end result of a lot of hard work and several months of planning taking place throughout the past year. Two faces of the reggae and dub culture in Madrid unite forces to bring you this EP; the mature and educated sound of Bass Culture Players alongside the fresh vocal and artistic vibe brought to you by the young Natty Nature.

As well as it being a showcase of the first ever musical production together, it’s Natty’s first solid project in creating a full album as supposed to releasing singles. Influenced by the 70’s and 80’s Roots Reggae sound of Jamaica, Puppa Shan has composed these riddims, bringing in some of Spain’s best Reggae musicians and united with Natty Nature to bring you what could be Spain’s 2017 roots album revelation of the year. 

New generation coming from the mountains of Madrid to bring you songs with message and a deeper understanding of the times we are living in through a young man’s perspective. Raised on Roots Reggae and forming himself in the Sound System scene, Natty is a versatile singjay working militantly on his and his brother’s sound called “Nu School Steppas Sound System”, working on several projects to be announced and released this upcoming year. 

This is the beginning of a great friendship and musical bond between two warriors brought together by the love of Reggae Music and the willingness to create a project that promotes consciousness amongst the people, in this time where there seems to be real a lack of knowledge and understanding, aiming at an international audience.

“And through the haze there shone a white light, and from that light played sweet sweet music... and to that music... We got high. Much love to the Hemps” – Paolo Nutini

“The Hempolics are the best band in the UK – but nobody knows it yet...” - Maxi Jazz (Faithless)

“Real vintage lo fi reggae inspired soul music for the 21st century city scape people” – DJ Vadim

“Great summer vibes. Puts a smile on my face. And amazing live too!” - Eliza Doolittle

“The best thing I’ve heard in ages” La Roux

The Hempolics are out to put those organic rootsy vibes back into music; with their fat radio-friendly hooks, bumping soundsystem bass and a wanderlusty, ineffably real sound all of their own...

Over years of recording top international talent The Hempolics enigmatic leader, Grippa Laybourne, has been carefully honing his own masterpiece and selecting a gang armed and dangerous enough to execute it. The Hempolics caused an instant stir with their single Serious which hit number one in the UK reggae charts and was playlisted on Massive Attack’s BBC takeover.

New debut album ‘Kiss, Cuddle & Torture Vol. 1’ has seen the band erupt with three singles playlisted by BBC6 Music and support from Steve Lamacq, Toddla T, Rodigan & Don Letts to name a few. Liz Kershaw selected the album on her ‘all killer, no filler’ best albums of the past 30 years and invited the band to play her BBC anniversary show after hearing them smash a live session for Lauren Laverne on BBC6. It’s not just on radio that the band have been breaking with album track ‘Samurai’ synced to the worldwide trailer for Coen Brothers and George Clooney film ‘Hail, Caesar!’

Sounding like the i-pod of the attention-deficit generation and swelled by guest appearances from various international talents The Hempolics have a storm brewing that promises to tear up the UK music scene. Recording underground style throughout the bedrooms and home studios of the band The Hempolics have created an infectious mash-up of Reggae, Electro, Hip-Hop, Soul, Rock and Pop. Although the weather out might be dull London-side it’s strictly sunshine vibes, resplendent with huge hooks and festival friendly choruses. These are tunes that people will be bopping to across festivals, clubs and car journeys for years to come.

The Hempolics pedigree recordings are combined with tight as a tick live performances – honed at their own underground club night in London – and they are amongst the up and coming acts to watch. They are the brainchild of veteran sound engineer and record producer Grippa Laybourne. Core vocalists, the empyreal Nubiya and devilishly dashing Dandelion, combine together impeccably, with Dan’s brother Harry sometimes stepping in with his own smooth tones. The rest of the band comprises of deft bassist Lorenzo, Leon King who ranks up there with the finest Reggae/Dub guitarists around and the exceptional Craig Boorman on drums.

Take your eye off The Hempolics at your peril. Ital business!
