JEROME Mixfile #602- Abena

GAIKA (@gaikasays) has been hailed as one of Britain’s most vital rappers. His confrontational music — and writing — is proudly Black, addressing as it does issues of the immigrant experience, gentrification and violence. It’s been called everything from gothic dance hall to industrial electronics for the way it distills Caribbean traditions and the contemporary sound of London, while he sees himself more of an afropunk with eyes very much on the future. Next to a full length and a number of EPs on Warp, this month he has collaborated with NAAFI affiliates on his new EP 'Seguridad' — which is out now —, while his collective The Spectacular Empire continues with its series of streams aimed at celebrating Black culture and raising money for Black causes. 

Over the course of an hour on this week’s mix, GAIKA serves up a positive musical selection. There are times when things get impossibly smooth, but pained passages often follow. It means one minute glossy r&b and purple funk fest you up, then gorgeous original instrumentals and sombre strings bring you back down. Complex and wide-ranging, it’s a mix that goes way beyond club functionality, instead managing to tell the sort of personal stories that real mixtapes should.

Wordcolour’s Bleep mix delivers the same sort of leftfield yet eminently danceable techno stylings that one hears on the producer’s Lapsus Records EP Tell Me Something. Bookended by more abstract cuts - a computer-age Fourth World sound design from Xactus at the start, FaltyDL’s woozy IDM/breakcore joint ‘Blueberry Moon’ at the close - the rest of the mix finds Wordcolour serving up club innovations from artists such as Piezo, Medlar and AYA.
