Restore with modern soul and wonky mellow jazz, to dusty hip-hop beats and woozy edits.
This week is curated by Oxford-born, London-based selector Esk who presents a blend of upfront rap, grime, soul, R&B and electronic sounds across the spectrum every month on Worldwide FM.
In his own words “I wanted to put something together that really represents my sound. Growing up as a rap fan, you build a true passion and love for the sounds it’s built off and samples, and you can hear some of that inspiration through the mix. I always try to showcase and represent new artists I’m loving in every mix I do too, so hopefully, you’ll be introduced to someone new.”
Listen to more of Esk over on his Soundcloud.
