On this month's episode of Badgal Antics, I'm SO excited to share my favourite mix to date: Bob's Mixtapes Vol. 4: LEVELS. I unofficially started this series last year to showcase my growth during my DJ journey and creative evolution as I discover new music, travel more, meet new people and experience more cultures around the world. This one is aptly named LEVELS because I really outdid myself methinks! It's giving Global Majority, electronic AF, it's giving high energy. Featuring some of my favourite African artists such as Somadina, Hagan, Gafacci, S!rene, and Sensei Lo. Check it out and let me know what you think!

Right after I'm followed by one of my favourite discoveries of 2023: I met Savannah aka fat lïp during her most recent iteration of her club night (and Diasporic archive), Vexed— where she held it down for 5 hours never letting us rest. It was pure vibes from start to finish. Check out a glimpse of their musical prowess on this guest mix.

Enjoy!

With Guest: fat lïp is a multidisciplinary Dj and saxophonist from London, of Jamaican and Grenadian descent. By blending different electronic music genres of Caribbean and African origin, they aim to celebrate the music of the Black diaspora, Homeland and beyond and honour and acknowledge the whole community. They ultimately aim to bring about a discussion on the state of the Black Diasporic Identity rooted in connectivity through music. They are also the founder of VEXED (https://www.instagram.com/__vexed) an online archive documenting diasporic stories and art.

fat lïp recently played at a Nigerian ran Netherlands based squat rave night known as HEATWAVE presented by RESONANCE and DJ Scotch Bonnet and aims to create a space for the black Dutch diaspora.
