I don’t know if you already caught the leak from Kanye’s Yeezus. It’s not really an opus like My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.

Soul, Dub, Brazilian beats, House, and even a touch of Soca for good measure.

This mix started with some dub tracks when the mailman brought my new record with the track Marwencol… then I automatically had to play El Michels Affair afterwards and so the ball got rolling. And I wanted to bring a lush summer and feel good atmosphere in this mix because we’ve waited long enough for some sunshine…

An attempt to impress you with my limited collection of music has no benefit to the expansion of the musical U&I’verse. I’d rather awaken your mind to the infinite ways of hearing a timeless classic. My mixes are always a unique story that stay true as a reflection of who I am… enjoy! – GiKu | Brooklyn
