Our latest contributor, Warsaw-born Venice Calypso, brings a new brand of UK Funky and Future Garage to the table. If there was ever such a thing as dark Tropical music then this mixtape encapsulates it; upbeat House and Funky is set against Deep House and rumbling Techno for a hazy, bass driven sonic assault.
His appearance on the first volume of Senseless Records’ Synesthesia 12″ series earmarked ‘Drifitng’ as a future classic, with extensive coverage and support from the likes of XLR8R and various other tastemakers. With remixes for Visionist and BD1982 on the way, Sebastian Bartz is sure to be a name you’ll be hearing for a lot this year and next.
Download his mixtape for us below and then head over to Senseless to buy your copy of the stunning Synesthesia EP. You can even get your hands on the ‘Drifting’ single, backed up by ‘Tunguska’ on Senseless.
