“We start where we ended the last AV mix with the anthemic ‘Hyph Mngo’ by Joy Orbison and a few choice words from Sun Ra. We continue in a future vain with the Eliphino Remix for Kidkanevil, Maddslinky given a Toddla T lick, and the heavy ‘Work them’ by Ramadanman. It’s a Ninja Trio and a Big Dada double, while James Blake floats over the Altrice remix of Caribou, before we turn up the bass to 11 for Bassnectar. The beats stay heavy as we skip through the Jamie XX remix for Gil Scott-Heron, an ‘old skool’ trio mixed with RackNRuin and Vent for extra dance floor punch, and it’s a D n B finish with the DJ Marky remix of ‘Wile Out’ by Zinc, Sunny by James Brown tweaked by Featurecast and we end on the sublime Flying Lotus remix for Andreya Triana. Listen, Watch and Enjoy. We take it down for hour 2 with a mix from Point to C. It’s a down-tempo neck snapper mixed flawlessly, taking in cuts from Afrika HiTech, Quest and Quadron, plus another track from Gil Scott-Heron with the beautiful ‘Me And The Devil’. Chris Read pops up for the last part with a look back to 1989 and a celebration of classic rap tracks from a golden era. This is just part of a regular night he does taking a certain year in Rap’s history and deftly mixing together the likes of Big Daddy Kane, EPMD, Main Source and Ultramagnetic MCs.
