Special mentions in this week’s show to The Mouse Outfit (a hip hop crew straight outta Manchester working hard and earning their stripes); a fantastic downtempo gem on the new Hunee LP (a couple more to roll out over the forthcoming shows); an amazing disco reissue on BBE by Jr, Martin L Dumas and a deeeep afro-house collaboration between Maalem Mahmoud Guinia and Floating Points. Mix-up selection as always, look out for rap from Outkast, Vince Staples, Quakers, Ghostface, DJ Vadim; soul from Marvin Gaye, The Weeknd; electronic/broken beats from Dego, Werkha, Ruff Draft; international pressure from our peeps Debruit, Clap! Clap! and Antibalas; a Detroit classic from Carl Craig in his 69 guise and even a cheeky OutKast cover from Xiomara. It’s like Christmas only in July instead.
