HiphoppaPODCAST Ep.6 - September 2024 (FREE Patreon Podcast)

This mix delves into my absolute favourite global bass productions!  Global Bass is actually quite an eclectic term used to describe a wide range of electronic music that draws influence from various musical cultures, instruments and rhythms from around the world.

This is a kind of ‘essential mix’ encompassing many of the vibes that have heavily influenced the music I make with my collective Hippo Sound System.   I absolutely love the psychedelic atmospheres and effects, and the way textural organic sounds are used to amplify the vibes of the tracks!  In fact the very first track in the mix  (Bwoy De Bhajaan) has massively influenced our Hippo Sound System album….  as after watching him perform at Goulash Disko many years ago it blew my mind as to how these kinds of nature sounds could stimulate the brain and majorly enhance the experience!

So I hope you enjoy it! …. I’ve alway wanted to make a mix like this but could never justify the time over other work until now!  It features a couple of my own tracks/remixes you may recognise and a very first exclusive listen the Gnawa/Techno fusion track ‘Mama Africa’.

Best enjoyed on high quality speakers! Sit back, relax and enjoy the ride!
