There couldn’t be a more fitting selector for the first Light Twerkerz LIT MIX than the original west coast rudegyal pon the decks herself, the legendary Tank Gyal. She has DJ’d the Light Twerkerz twerkshop and bruk out at Bass Coast Festival every year since the inaugural session at Merritt, British Columbia in 2013.

Founding resident DJ and promoter of Vancouver’s longest-running dancehall weekly Ting since 2007, and core member of the mighty Lighta! Sound crew, she is true to the origins of sound system culture while tirelessly working to push the vibes forward in the present.

We’re honoured she has made the time to bless us with ***her first studio DJ mix release in over 5 years*** (!!!), and dayyum does it deliver! Most definitely channeling the full blood wolf moon lunar eclipse potency during the weekend it was recorded. 🌝~ Vibes ~ 🌝

Enjoy this trans-Asslantic survey of American, Afro-Caribbean and European music: over 80 tracks in just under 80 minutes of booty-shaking bedlam! 🔥🍑🔥
