qu is an underground producer and musician who writes his own material and is signed to German label Kabul Fire.

His music is heavily influenced by Hip Hop yet also has a number of touch points connected to his roots growing up, drawing upon inspiration from the golden era of the genre. He has found a home on Farhot’s label, a suitable home given Farhot’s background working alongside the likes of Giggs and Nas.

This tape features a number of musical styles and genres – moving between rap, funk, soul, house and beyond. Recorded at his studio in Hamburg it is a perfect mixtape which cements the jazzy undercurrent found in some of qu’s own music.

His new record features collaborators, the likes of East London’s Jay Prince amongst others. This mix features an evolution of such similar sounds.
