2016 has been rife with the departure of influential characters. When the news strikes, our social media feeds fill up with tributes and we rush to Google & Youtube to learn information we then pretend we knew already. That’s fine, though. Death is a trigger for launching people back to centre stage of the collective consciousness. Those who were there during the peak years and the younger generations all get to take another hard look at what the departed had created. Inspiration renewed. Granted no tracks by recently deceased artists are in this mix, but you’ll undoubtedly hear their cultural impact within. Old & new beats across the spectrum for you. Talented players, wordsmiths and beat crafters working hard for your dancing & head bopping pleasure. — Mogpaws
