Tropicalization For The Nation! Vol.5: Summertime D&B

***Click 'buy' button for free download***

Just over a month ago I played one of the most special and memorable sets of my life on the beautiful Solar Stage at Goulash Disko (check the picture!!)  You can only get to this stage via boat or treacherous cliff path, and having seen it the previous year at Goulash, the location's beauty and isolated enchantment had inspired me to dig deep into my collection and put together a special playlist of my more psychedelic and spiritual sounds.  

Bigup my man Feline only just managed to get a mic shipped over to the stage in time for our set... so he could lay down his wholesome and conscious messages to compliment!   A magical end to the summer for us both!    Hope you dig, and special shout out to all the crew who were there and the Goulash fam!

I didn't have the ability to record the mix on site unfortunately so Felix and got together to record it at home in Bristol, but I did record clips of set and holiday   in low quality off of my phone and couldn't help but include some of them to create my own 'holiday audio montage'     ... check the blooper from the recording sessions at the end too! hehe

Big luv, Hippo x

Rootsy Reggae Mixtape Vol.2

The first stop of my European tour in December took me to the 'occupied space' Zero 81 in the amazing city of Napoli in South central Italy!  Knowing this was likely the first time any of these people had seen me perform live I decided to deliver a mega-mix of the best hippo bangers new and old!  Huge shouts to the promoter Daniele who also managed to record the set.

It was a wicked city, with much art, culture and character... I was told it’s character comes from living in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius... as the spirit of the volcano bleeds into the chaotic spirit of the city and its people!  ...And they certainly showed this spirit on the dancefloor! <3   

Hope you enjoy, big Hippo Luv! x

Tropical Tea Party Ft. Ru Robinson & DJ Hiphoppapotamus 2020

Our (not)Goulash Disko mixtape is online NOW!!!  Inevitably there was no Goulash Disko festival this year, but as we were still allowed to travel to that gorgeous island a small group of us gathered on Kamenice Beach (in a safe manor), and felt extremely lucky and grateful to be able to play music and share in a very special vibe!

Upon return my animal friends Feline and Munki helped me try to recreate that vibe for all to hear.  Big shouts to the Stonefish massive, and big love to all the Goulash family both missed and present!  <3
