After curating his debut EP we invited Parisian artist https://soundcloud.com/briquezer to display his love for digging. In this mix Brique showcases his versatility, taking a pedagogical approach starting with easy listening and relaxed cuts before slowly diving into more clubby, deep and loopy sonorities.  The result is a 1h14min trip through some of Brique’s favourite records, oscillating between funky, spaced out and burning with urgency atmospheres.
