about

‘After the heady heights of Ma Barka's FKOFd057 outing on FKOF Records, we leave New Zealand and journey to Paris, France for the next addition to our digital catalogue. This is the debut release of yet another artist to the FKOF family, and we’re pretty pleased with the material on this four tracker…

‘Hippoflip’s a bit of a nascent talent in the 140 space with one solo EP to his name prior to our effort together. We first came across him earlier this year with the release on Montpellier’s Noizion and got quickly chatting after hosting a premiere of one of the tunes. Hippo’s take on sound system music caught our eyes and ears from there and things progressed pretty quickly after that. In fact, looking back at the chat log, he sent us two tunes, we signed them, he sent us two more and (after a bit of back and forth with our resident A&R wizard Korrupt) that became what you’re about to listen to…

‘Our 58th release on the main FKOF Records digital imprint launches with what Hippo described as a ‘laidback dubby track’ when he sent it our way. ‘Assif’ is just that, with a bonus soupçon of our much-loved beats, bass and space ingredients on the top. Track two, ‘Bla Bla Bla’ takes no prisoners as ‘an aggressive triplet one-dropper’. That pretty much sums it up, but we’re keen to experience this in front of the subs as we suspect there’ll be a screwface or two on this one. Banger. As we move towards the tail-end of FKOFd058 we take things down a notch with ‘Haha Ok’. It’s a tune that brings a new side to a vibe that fits well within the FKOF Records back catalogue – one that feels like some of our earlier material. All sharp percs, clever atmospheres and some wicked sampling. Last, but definitely not least, we end with ‘No Retreat’. Luscious keys and a nod back to the dubby tip we found on ‘Assif’ with its rolling kicks into the second drop.

‘Hippo’s early into his releases but is clearly realising his potential for building quality material. These four tunes caught our attention and hopefully catch yours, too. Keep your eyes on this guy, there’s raw talent we’re excited to see develop!’
