Mixsoup - Sun Ra’s Galaxy

It took me a while to get into Sun Ra. At first, I hated it to be honest and I guess it's the same for loads of people. But since I got into it, I became more and more fascinated.

This mix features artists influenced by Sun Ra’s music. A journey from Spiritual Jazz to Afrofuturism through Electronica.

I hope you enjoy it as much I enjoyed putting it together.
