HYPNOTOAD 3000 – Swamp Tapes '23–'25

Out now on Frogs in the Function

“Bootlegs from the brackish underground.”

Emerging from the damp underbelly of the breakbeat biosphere, HYPNOTOAD 3000 presents Swamp Tapes '23–'25: an unbroken 40-minute sonic crawl through the murky wetlands of jungle, breakbeat, and ambient dub. Released on underground imprint Frogs in the Function, this full-length journey blurs the line between mixtape, concept album and rave artefact.

Somewhere between a bootleg Bukem tape from '94 and the startup sound of a forgotten alien drum machine, Swamp Tapes '23–'25 features 18 original productions, recorded straight to cassette in a single take. You might hear echoes of lounge-core trip-hop twisted into hardcore shellshock. Or maybe you're just hallucinating in the swamp again.
