Get the transnational bass started

After posting some of my old mixes, it is time to get you in touch with some of the newer musical stuff I am into right now, to let you know in which direction the musical journey is heading.
Check out this wonderful mix "World Up Vol.1" by Maga Bo,  an early ambassador promoting a worldwide vision of bass music. Somewhere in between Hip Hop, Dancehall, Baile Funk, Kwaito, Kuduro ... from South Africa, Brazil, Jamaica, Somalia, USA, Senegal, UK, Puerto Rico, Canada ...  he calls it Transnational Bass some call it Tropical Bass, just listen to it ... (and for the portuguese speaking people: pay attention to  the lyrics of Duda do Borel)






Maga Bo did this mix for World Up a NGO merging a global vision of Hip Hop and social engagement. Taken from their homepage:

"World Up is a non-profit organization dedicated to educating the public about international politics, and issues that affect the global community through Hip-Hop and socially progressive culture. Since our fruition in 2004, we have been fostering diversity, cross-cultural understanding, and social change with educational programming and events, like our music festivals and conferences. Helmed by a diverse set of volunteers, we are united by a deep love for music, and our faith in its power as a tool for social and political change."

On a trip to Rio-Mix

Another classical Baptist mixtape recorded back in 2005 on cassette inna jamaican quality. (So again, what the sound might lack on quality it has an x-amount of vibes). In reminiscence to my good old soundcrew and musical ambassadors from I-Judgement HiFi. Big up all you (country)soundboys!
Starting with the southafrican Hip Hop anthem "Kleva" by Mapaputsi passing through jamaican flavoured Hip Hop and ending with tropical-brazilian vibes.
This mix gives you a little notion in which direction the musical journey started some years ago. 


Especially for you Philman!

Original Flowmotion Tape

For all my old and future fans some vintage vibes in vintage quality! The original Flowmotion Tape was recorded back in 2004 on cassette inna original jamaican style, so what the tape might lack on quality it has an x-amount of vibes.



The smooth (and probably better) B-Side flowin from african roots rebel music over jamaican flavoured hip hop vibes to uplifting chill sounds and ends with the bavarian herbsman anthem.

Finally the www-vibes come around!


After being convinced and inspired by a lot of musical ambassadors out there and listening to the rumors about the end of my loved “Vinyl & 1210 MK2”- era, it's now time to get my online sound universe started (Myspace & "Homepage"). Hopefully you gonna like it!
After wondering what to post here as my first tune, I am now sure that it can't be any other than this ... (sorry... this track will only be fully accessible for my german speaking posse) ...



If you like the track search for the EP with an essential dub version. Jacques  Palminger who works together with Heinz Strunk in the Studio Braun Project released an cool album called "Mondo Jerry" combining freakiness and good vibes. Check out  http://www.myspace.com/palminger to listen to tracks like Polizeihubschrauber (german "Police in Helicopter" - version) and to the Tuedeldub. If you want even more check out the Tuedeldub Remix-EP  by Shackleton, Lawrence, Hey O Hansen and Peter Presto: http://www.hhv.de/item_170250.html

This one is for Mosbichler and Bartholomeo Beach!
