XPRSO, a Nairobi based production team, counts among its members our very own Mars Masaai, alongside artists Baby’s Breath, MR. LU* and RVMP. We’re thrilled to share that they released their very first EP, NAIROBASS, this past March! The 7 track EP is vibes on vibes, showcasing their underlying love for bass and pure Nairobi sounds.‘

“‘Party’ is soulful and feel good as fuck. It’s nostalgic of the ‘zilizopendwa’ era but with a modern twist. Mars Maasai’s voice is sweet! NAIROBASS… feels like home, rooted in tradition but inspired by modernity,” Culture nerd, DJ and artist Shishi Wanj writes in her in Tangaza Magazine Nairobass EP review.
