1st Pili Pili Soundcloud upload! A bunch of upbeat, dancey tracks I've been into over the last few months - some Blurred Lines mash-ups with Busy Signal & Konshens, some Afrobeat & Sofrito from the Ogyatanaa Show Band & Ti Celeste, new soulful beats from The Bolts, & electro mash-ups from Lana Del Rey, Kraftwerk & Everything But The Girl.

Blurred Pili Pili

Compilation from my debut Berkeley DJ set last Friday. Some cumbia and Afro-Caribbean sounds from Wganda Kenya, Los Hijos del Sol and Los Diplomaticos, mash-ups from Dizzee Rascal, Ol' Dirty Bastard and Roots Manuva, some New Orleans funk from Inell Young sampled by The Roots, and a reggae outro from Otis Gayle and Barrington Levy. Had a great time out there! Thanks to everyone for supporting!

Friday Afternoon Pili Pili

A bunch of hip hop, electro, Latin and world beats I've been digging playing at Drake's Dealership recently. Fanatastic rapping from Ocean Wisdom, a tight hip hop release from Later x Casisdead, a couple of Latin tracks from Cut Chemist's Colombian crates compilation, and a standout Hatian vodou jazz piece from Zotobre.

It's been about a year since my last Mixcloud upload. Here's a bunch of hip hop, jazz, funk, beats, cumbia and even a little Venezuelan pop to make up for it. Shout outs to the Manchester hip hop scene, the Greek Carnibal label, and the Pure Dopeness compilations put out by Sinoptic International.

A few more tunes from the home quarantine crates. Classic disco from Sylvia Striplin and The Jones Girls, old school hip hop from EPMD and A Tribe Called Quest, new beats from Fredfades and Bluestaeb, and some smooth soul from Flat Stanley and The Peddlers. Life under lockdown is always better with music. Hope you enjoy!
