Welcome back to the first Monday Morning Mixtape of 2016! We’re back fresher than ever ready to lighten up your dreary morning routine with an hour of audio vitamins from around the world.
This week let Frank Sinatra revitalise you with a 1970’s cover of an Astrud Gilberto bossa nova classic, Yehudi Ravitz puts a 1970’s Israeli twist on Brazilian samba legend Jorge Ben, plus we switch up 1980’s colourful disco between Taiwan and Romania.
Alongside dusty old gems expect new sounds from New York’s rugged rapper Wiki, soulful post-Dilla sounds from Wun Two, hushed dark folk from hotly tipped Ugandan artist Daudi Matsiko and some speculative new sounds from Vancouver’s dreamy house connoisseurs Pender Street Steppers.
Happy Monday and happy 2016!
