After 2 years of much collaboration and vibration DJ Hiphopapotamus & friends are super excited to present to you 2Steppin’ Up. 

A compilation from the finest producers around with a vision to inject flavour into the music they love, UK Garage. Hippo & friends have taken that bass driven 2Steppin’ beat and brought the fusion it’s never known before. And boy they didn’t hold back on the global, ska, salsa and bhangra garage. 2Steppin’ up has taken garage to directions we didn’t know were possible, bringing you this compilation of 10 earth shaking UKG bombs.

As if that wasn’t enough to be proud of! All profits raised from 2Steppin’ Up will be donated to a charity that we love, Music 4 Children.
Who have been doing fantastic work bringing support and relief to some of the poorest and most underprivileged children in Nepal and the UK. From basic food and shelter to musical and creative workshops. The support and love Music 4 Children give is huge and we are so happy to be able to support them on their mission!

It gives me so much excitement to finally share with you the debut release from my collective Hippo Sound System! As a collective of producers, musicians and vocalists we explore new fusions of world music with sound system culture. Producing intelligent and organic dance music that is enriching for both the body and soul. 

The title track "Music For Your Mind" fuses funky East African grooves with a classic drum & bass beat and features the legendary D&B MC Spyda as well as Ghanaian powerhouse K.O.G & Jamaican rapper Franz Von. 

Love Goes Where Love is a euphoric fusion of jungle music with soukous inspired guitar and is accompanied by beautiful vocal messages from both K.O.G & Fran Von. 

Into the Jungle is our tribute to the legendary Francis Bebey and is a psychedelic junglist's journey into the heart the jungle itself! We call this new sub genre... 'liquid-afro-jungle' !!! 

The full EP will be available on all platforms from 20/5/20 and you can pre-order from bandcamp now:

CiF 21 Mr Fitz - Spaghetti Stodge

Genre: Hip Hop, Drum & Bass. Breaks

Release date: Juno Download 04/09/20 / All Platforms 11/09/20

Never a man to leave an empty plate and always the one to finish incomplete beverages. Young @mr-fitzz is the proud owner of a lust for life and an aggressive appetite. The last man standing at many a house party. Usually in his pants rummaging around the fridge at 4am. His parents had to put locks on the sweetie jar due to his sleep foraging in the Fitz household. Inhaling leftovers from Tupperware with a semi, while swigging olive oil from the bottle is how his mother was greeted during the witching hour!

Not a lot has changed now he’s making waves as a DJ & Producer. A four-finger slap is what you’ll receive if you’re not quick on the changeover and the amount of beats this young man churns out… Tut tut leave some for someone else.

Moving on to the first track on young Fitz debut EP. Fitz mellows the vibes out and call’s upon JPDL to spit some verses about consuming kebabs. With Nick Robinson on sax, drum rolls that may or may not be on Fitz’s pot belly and delicious bass rumbles, this track will be a firm favourite for all culinary connoisseurs. 

Switch up! Ghostroller is up next and we’re genre hopping from Hip Hop to Drum & Bass. Fitz takes on the challenge of using that timeless sample RJD2 smashed all those years ago, adds some new vibes and turns into a drum and bass banger that slides in and out of Hip Hop. A challenge he accepts and completes victorious. 

Sliding back into Hip Hop territory and back on the subject matter of tuck! He’s called upon another greedy boy, Hypeman Sage. Sit back and listen in shock as Sage goes on a rampage eating everything in sight. His slightly offensive vocals are accompanied with a Classic Boom Bap break. Teamed with some serous bass action, Big Fridge is the ideal track to get this scrumptious release off the starting blocks. 

Finishing the EP with a banger we have Rude Brake. Hitting up that classic Breakbeat sound Fitz screws up some VOX while combining his signature Sub with that drum break that makes everyone dance. Resulting in the perfect Mignardise to this 4 course EP!
