I was recently asked to submit a mixtape for Defected Records 'Unsung Heros, of which, I was entirely excited/apprehensive of having the opportunity to do so but with the added caveat of only having a total of 4 days to get it out - EEEK! - I love making mixtapes but loathe pressure!

Dubbed 'The Warm-up Mix', it's themed around being the 'set before the set'. I wanted it to be fluid but work within an arc - starting slow, melodic and moving up and down the bpm and energy as if to keep people guessing where it was going whilst still holding a flow.

Music-wise, I shoehorned in nearly 30 tracks over the hour using inspiration from a wide range of genre's including: Hip Hop, Funk, Disco, varying house, Acid, Techno, Cuban, Afro & Dancehall to name a few. The bpm's range from 90bpm all the way up to 130. There is an emphasis on the low end with lots of deep funky bass, big chunky snares and melodic uplifting vocals were also a must! I wanted to use original samples from featured tracks as I love crowd reactions from doing this and it's a subtle live history lesson for the masses, in summary, it's a smorgasbord of tracks I personally feel bang presented in a dope style (obviously open for interpretation there...)
