Ajuma and Palo Santo Discos passed by the Rush Hour store at the end of last year! The mix recorded live in-store was inspired by the colourful sleeves that epitomise the sound of Parotia (Ajuma's own Amsterdam and Utrecht based club night) - expect warm, soulful sounds that embrace the joy of dancing.

Both selectors are familiar faces to the shop and it's about time they soundtracked a Friday evening in our store with some finds from our very own bins alongside discoveries from further afield!

Full Vinyl Factory video upload and feature coming soon...
