Tribute Mix Vol. 1

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!

Karakana - Waggles & Bear Twists

@roastbeatz is back with his latest EP boasting 5 slabs of House and Disco heat! He’s well and truly cranked the BPM up on this one, making it the perfect tonic for those Summer dancefloors. Already receiving support from BBC Introducing, being featured 3 weeks in a row on Radio Solent, having 2 tracks played back to back in one show and being the soundtrack to a Bournemouth Tourism campaign. It’s apparent that Roast has found a groove that fans, new and old are feeling with this brand-new release.

Been a Long Time: Recorded post lockdown, Roast had been putting his efforts into making music. After crafting this melodic disco, funk banger he called upon the skills of Lucy Richards and Everyman to tie this track together and make it last the test of time.

Punjabi Party: Originally made as a free download, the track progressed into such a dancefloor monster, there’s no way he could keep it off the EP. As the name suggests Roast samples Punjabi MC, adds Baile Funk, 808’s and Biggie. How can it lose?

Disco Hustle: A last-minute addition to the EP, this track has since had support from BBC radio and been used in the Bournemouth “Feels Like” Tourist campaign reaching thousands of people across the UK. The vibes in the title and guaranteed to fill dancefloors all Summer.

Hold Your Head Up: This is the track that took BBC Introducing by storm and featured 3 weeks in a row. Roast got busy on the Rhodes, sampled some timeless classics, added some neck-snapping synth bass and polished it off with a sprinkle of flute. 

Bouncing Around: A tune Roast has gone back to again and again over the years. Finally, after sampling some Quantic trumpet, borrowing Jay Z and Pharrell the track came together. Just as you think you’ve got this banger worked out; it switches into all-out disco vibes to make sure all parties are hyped.

The Niceguys - Turn it Out (Available Now)

Stream/DL: https://fanlink.to/TIO

Info:
Swiss beat maestros The Niceguys return to Bombstrikes with a bang! As ever the duo expertly fuse elements of Hip Hop, Funk and Bass to create something of a guitar led monster. Kicking off with the huge horn hooks, expert cuts and a complete earworm of a vocal, ’Turn it Up’ delivers the trademark ’Niceguys’ sound to devastating effect. Dubra, fresh from his own chart-topping releases switches things up with a hard-hitting Drum N Bass remix that will have those dirty bass faces out in force. Rounding off the package is the instrumental, which loses none of the original’s energy but will allow you get creative with your own cuts and vocals! A special return from the duo!

Songs for a Revolution

No Justice No Peace - TAKIMBA  Remix

Splunk is first and foremost a Bass Pusher, Groove Dealer, Glitch Pimp and Sound Junkie. 

His music builds on the coolness of cutting-edge electronic beats and sounds  infused with warm funkadelic riffs and grooves.

His weapon is music, his style is funky, his message is a positive one, from the up-beat to the get-down.
