The Hipe Biography

Cape Town born Wayne Lee Robertson is infamous for his classic sample-based boom bap style and impeccable sense of composition.  Having started in 1995 he is fast becoming the go-to producer after having worked with South Africa’s heavy hitters namely:  Driemanskap, Rattex, Ben Sharpa, Jaak, Imbube, Zubz, Young Nations, Proverb, Nemza, Malik G and Tumi. Internationally artists such as John Robinson (US), Mode9 (Nigeria) and Euphon (US) have had classic productions from him.

His skills have seen him provide the backdrop to TV documentaries and adverts with Godessa, Cellblock and the late Mr. Fat of Brasse Vannie Kaap and the late great Mr. Devious.  With Hype magazine nominating him for best producer at their 2009 awards and Pioneer Unit making him their in-house producer in that same year Hipe is definitely the perfect beatsmith to prepare the canvas for you to paint your masterpiece on.
