Kicking off the show, we bring the hip hop in a variety of shapes and guises: soulful jazz-flexes; a glorious cover of a Wu-Tang Clan classic, heavy funk breaks; up-to-the-time UK grime and garage (No Lay & Context) and a Biggie x Flume mash-up. Following that we drop an afrobeat masterpiece from Ebo Taylor complete with sick trumpet section. A little spaced-out spiritual jazz; head-nodding fonk from Mo Kolours, nu-soul from Inc. and shiny, electronic summer beats from Flume and Jimmy Edgar close out the first 60. We get eclectic in the 2nd half with dubbed out strings’n’big band arrangements (RaAh Project), future bass maneuvers from Sbtrkt, Deft and Gang Colours and a twisted playground rhyme and heavy 808 bline from An-Ten-Nae. We follow with some sweet soul (Kiwanuka, Shadow), crazy “loose garage” house and afro-electronics, and close out with some future bass/deep house/UK funky styles.
