Welcome to the 80th edition of our Monday Morning Mixtape series!
This week we’re celebrating the milestone with a fine selection of space funk, vintage soul and intelligent hip hop. Expect to hear gems from the legendary Roy Ayers and London alt-pop band Stereolab, alongside clever wordplay from Doomtree’s finest Dessa. Stay tuned for some of the inspiration behind Radiohead’s Reckoner, along with a smooth Para One track that featured in the recent film Girlhood. Happy Monday!
