Went heavy this week on the house and broken beat tip (with a touch of soul to start). The show features a hot new Daz-I-Kue remix of DiverseCity Music‘s The Copacetic, a collaboration between NYC don Manchildblack and DJ Afro. We also played tunes by Omar + Scratch Professor (UK), Full Crate + Mar (Amsterdam), Lapalux (UK), Maddslinky + Jenna G (UK), Kraak en Smaak (Nederland), Karizma (Bmore) and Jamie XX + Yasmin (UK), to name but a few.

(Note that the mp3 at the link above only captured the first two hours of the show. I’m gonna try and get the last hour from the station archives when I’m up there next week. If I can get it, I’ll update this post with it.)
