Blur Podcasts 133 - Jank (Japan)

After releasing his debut EP on UK's Mysterious Works (@mysteriousworksmusic), Japan-based House head JANK (@jan041) decided to gather some of his favourite tracks together for a mix to show off where his unique style comes from. 
"The mix includes cool tracks I love from Moodymann and my precious friends NY*AK, Simba, and MannMadeMusic are also included. It also contains tracks from a few from my favourite Japanese artists. I do not make DJ mixes so often, it's very rare, so I hope you like it!"
