“Mixpak favourite WILDLIFE! has been locked up in his recording studio for the best part of 2011, which can only mean that 2012 is going to be full of WILDLIFE! goodness, including his debut full length, an EP and other secret projects he has yet to announce.
He’s still had time to put together this New Year’s mix of some of his favourite tracks to play out over the past year, including our very own Dubbel Dutch, Melé and Poirier. Run it!” (via Mixpak)

March 2011 saw the ”Expédition” party series kick off at Club Bonsoir, and within no time it seemed they were conquering the hearts of bass music lovers from near and far.
We had our global family passing through, delivering nothing but mindblowing sets and an overwhelming following of friends both new and old, local and distant – plus visitors from all four corners of the world blessing us with not only their presence but truckloads of love and energy!
A big THANK YOU goes out to J-Wow, Roska, Joyce Muniz, Brodinski, Savage Skulls, Teki Latex, Bambounou, Daniel Haaksman and Manaré for delivering nothing but musical niceness from the decks, and of course to all the people who sweat it out on the floor throughout the year! To the homies Radiorifle for continuosly not only neatly warming up the place but bringing heat to the club right from the start of the night. And last but not least to all the Club Bonsoir staff (booking, PR, bar, security, cleaning, daycare, breast feeding) for making these memorable events happen.
EXPÉDITION will be back in 2012, stay tuned for more…. and thanks for the love.

“The man WILDLIFE! has struck again, making yet another set of subtle, yet improved edits of some huge but underrated dancehall tunes. Chan Dizzy’s ‘Strange Face’ and Vybz’s ‘Tattoo Time’ are both dark and steeped with bass, but the Swiss producer manages to make them a little less sparse, with his sneaky melodies lingering in the background…” (via Mixpak Records)
