The sixteenth instalment of the Reference Mark Mix Series. Past, present and future friends of the label are given the chance to reference the sounds that define them.

For RMM016 we invite a long time Leeds based friend, @simbauk. As with a lot the friends of RM in the Leeds scene, we met Simba at an open decks. His enthusiasm for underground electronic music was (and still is) magnetic and infectious. Whenever he’s behind the decks – whether that be in a club, a house party or in the studio, his uplifting energy can always be felt through the music he plays and makes. Drawing from a wide range of influences, including his Zimbabwean heritage, Junior Simba puts together a mix that showcases the deeper sounds of house, with sprinklings of shuffling percussion and catchy vocal phrases.
