Last month Nigerian-born vocalist Wayne Snow teamed up with dexterous German beatmaker Max Graef for the infectious Rosie EP on Tartelet Records. Graef’s rugged instrumentation of dusty beats and soulful off-kilter chords made a perfect home for Snow’s sleek falsetto vocals, gliding through wonky hip-hop to 4/4 funk odyssey.
This week we bring you a very special edition in our Monday Morning Mixtape series curated by the fresh faced artist. Recorded in Berlin, and interspersed with dreamy narration from Snow, the hour-long mixtape is a musical voyage through space and time that is sure to get your week started right.
Expect 1960’s deep south spiritual jazz sounds, 1970’s Nigerian afrobeat and soulful crooning alongside low-slung hip-hop edits of Lauryn Hill, A Tribe Called Quest and more.
Wayne Snow’s Rosie EP is available to buy now via Tartelet Records.
