Wove this one together out of the moods of the moment. So happy to share this with the Data Transmission crew! They had a nice little interview format for their post - I’ll reproduce the interview here, but go check out the mix!

Sum up this mix in 10 words...

Emotional dizzying ominous and heavy, just like the times we’re living

What’s your personal favourite track on it?

Probably a tie between Breaka’s “Leave your Dirt at the door” which has a great banging, jukey feel and a sample with wisdom we can all use.. and 1U Gotta Feel It Part 2 by Gremino because I love a good timestretch

What’s the special ingredient in this mix?

Caffeine, probably!

What have you got coming up? 

Well, I wrote a book about Jamaican soundsystem culture and copyright law (it’s called Rude Citizenship) and I hope to do a combination book/dj tour in the spring.

When was the last time you actually raved?

It’s been minute, sadly, but I did have great summer tour and Fusion festival was a highlight

And finally, do you have a special message for our readers?

We have to take care of each other, we’re all we have <3
