The good fella WILDLIFE! has been kicking up a veritable dancehall storm: what with his latest EP Buck Up, his insane mixtapes (as Goldrush International) and his latest Badda Don edits.
He’s given us two fresh edits from bashment top shottas, Bugle and Mavado. Don’t sleep! Also, watch out for more exclusive WILDLIFE! goodies coming to Mixpak soon.

So i just got back from a nice little Christmas break in Nigeria. What did i bring back? Why music of course! Nigerian pop music tends to follow the US R&B pop model, which leads to quite insipid music most of the time. I don’t know what happened this year but someone decided to tap up African resources and add coupe decale drums.
The biggest song right now is D’Banj aka the Kokomaster’s ‘Mr Endowed’, which is a song as corny as you could imagine. My personal favourite and the one that really gets people skanking out is Kas’ ‘Wind for Me’. Whether it was at Calabar Carnival, a beach party in my dad’s tiny village or our next door neighbour’s, everyone was dutty whining to this song.
Even though the all conquering Federation Sounds Rihanna/Vybz mash up is great, watching Burgaboy vibing out to his own refix is amazing. Makes me wonder what could have been if her team had chosen bassline as the UK sound she wanted to emulate instead of dubstep.
J Viewz, wherever it is you’re holidaying in this vid, we are SO jealous.
