MIX 004 brings you a culmination of this year's (more confined than usual) Leo season energy as it now draws to a close. We’ll be jumping from old-school Bollywood, experimental electronic sounds from the Middle East and straight into some grime in the first half. Midway through, we’re keeping things interesting with avant-garde electronic vibes, blending into some Detroit house and then a little dip into some R&B cuts for the heads. Fast forward to the last quarter of the mix - we’ve got freshness from some of the all-time hip-hop greats and then we finish things off with some melodious South-African folklore vibes.
As many of you are aware, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to many tours and shows being cancelled - resulting in artists being hit especially hard during this time. As a result - Bandcamp introduced 'Bandcamp Fridays' - dedicating the first Friday of each month (for the rest of this year) to making sure 100% of revenue made goes directly to the artist.
Key dates to note for Bandcamp Fridays 2020:
4 September, 2020
2 October, 2020
6 November, 2020
4 December, 2020
All revenue goes to the artists on the dates above so make note and support your faves! Below I'll be linking each artist's Bandcamp within the tracklist.
