Berlin-based Kalipo was stuck in a bamboo hut in the Jungle in Thailand, with not much more on his person than swimming trunks, the clothes he wore and a sampler, when first starting to work on “Banana Garden”. The track could be described as “narcotic house” with it’s exotic samples and driving four to the flour beat. It is true to Kalipo’s , but with more vehemence.
The video accompanying “Banana Garden” was realized by Pupillendriller, who conceptualized the wanderer as a Black Hole. Pupillendreher has been responsible for all of Kalipo’s music videos and for visuals at his live shows.
“Banana Garden” is released as part of Kalipo’s second album “Wanderer” - out via Audiolith Records on 22/01/2016. Eight tracks either written on tour or referencing localities that Kalipo played or travelled to.
