The times are changing and despite having great success as a full time musician for the last 6 years…. the financial pressures of today are making it VERY hard for me to continue being an artist at all!  Even just affording my bills and rent is a struggle now, let alone the mastering, artwork and promotional costs it take to release my to release my music.

So its time for me to double down and call upon my following.  I'm offering exclusive mixes, tracks, DJ Tools, production tips and much more in exchange for the price of a drink every single month!   

So... If YOU want me to continue doing this AND release more music than EVER!  Then please go to my Patreon page below and sign up for great music content every month!

February's Offerings...

1. Take Me Back - To Piaui - Hiphoppapotmus & Extra Medium 

The Piaui remix I did with Extra Medium has been such a key part of my set for the last few years and one of my most requested songs to be released... so here it goes to you guys first! ... With a tip top job on mastering by Duncan at DC Mastering!

2. Dancehall Lover - Hiphoppapotamus Ft. Dandelion

The 'Dancehall Lover' track has been on the back-burner for almost 7 years now!  I love the cute little cheeky vibe on this.   I commissioned the vocal from Dandelion (of the amazing reggae groups The Hempolics and The Drop).   Massive points if someone can guess the obscure source of the track i sampled!   😆

3. Marky & XRS - LK (Hiphoppapotamus' Sax Edit)

This sassy edit is a free bonus track this month to every one who sign sup to my Patreon!  It features the incredible Dave Sanders on the saxophone who is honestly one of the most amazing musicians I know!  We were so blessed to have him as our very first sax player in Hippo Sound System.   He's now mostly occupied with his modern jazz fusion band... Snazzback ...I strongly recommend you check them out if you haven't already!

This months mix is a selection of my absolute favourite reggae, ragga hip hop, dancehall and dubby beats that I’ve found over the last year or so!   Easing in with the with the luscious relaxing tones Hollie Cook and Akae Beka all the way to the more energetic future dancehall from Jaz Elise.  It essentially would be a Rootsy reggae Mixtape Vol. 3, but with the addition of some dancehall and hiphop vibes this time that title didn’t feel correct.   Great to pair with the sunshine thats finally coming through a bit more now!
