Shoe, this man does more for local music overseas than anyone else we know.
As soon as he has been credited with any involvement with a production or song, or something like this here mix, it is all over the blogosphere faster than you can say "Ayobaness".
We finally got round to listening to this one, we downloaded it a few weeks ago, but our playlist is quite big here, nevermind the dayjob responsibilites, so all in good time. [Ed. the end of this year will see some exciting developments btw]
But we digress, if you haven't got it yet, get it now.

Sure, the mixing isn't great, but that's beside the point.
It's his influence to expose some much unheard local music (there's something to be said for the fact that some of this shit is bigger overseas than in our own country), to a much needed audience that is.
And for that sir, we applaude you.
Rather see this as a rad mixtape slapped together with a killer selection...
Well at least just the one side of a casette, since this comes in at a storming 21 minutes.
