DJ Sliink featured as the guest mix on this week’s Diplo & Friends show on BBC 1Xtra, delivering a huge mix featuring his own Jersey club remixes, along with DJ Big O, Flosstradamus, K Millz (who recently dropped us a Mixpak FM), not to mention Juicy J, Kendrick & Travis thrown in too.
Matt Shadetek has just announced his new album, ‘The Empire Never Ended’, coming to Dutty Artz very soon, and here’s the first cut he’s dropping as a taster with Brooklyn MC Troy Ave, whom he first heard guesting on Mr Muthafuckin’ eXquire’s mixtape. This one is a dark and melancholic track driven by deep synths, dissonant melodies and those rolling 808 snares. Buy the track here.
Mixpak FM 043 is brought to you by 24-year old Philadelphia producer, Krueger. He featured on our very first compilation – Mixpak Pressure Volume One – with his big hitter ‘Trunkin’, and has also delivered releases for Slit Jockey, Hot Mom USA, Paradisiaca, and remixes for Yumo and Siyoung.
His Mixpak FM features some exclusive unreleased Krueger material alongside Mixpak favourites DJ Funeral and Lucid.

Matt Shadetek delivered us a stellar rap instrumental for our first compilation series, Mixpak Pressure, and has now let loose this beat he made for NY rapper Le1f, for his mixtape ‘Dark York’. In Matt’s words:
My homie Dead O from clouds gave me a huge stack of underground Memphis rap CDs several years ago when I played in Helsinki with him and the hypnotic darkness really made an impact. This is my love letter to those beats. A big shoutout to Le1f for using it for his tape, as a lifelong New York Rap Guy I’m happy to be included in this new generation of weird rap that’s oozing out of NY right now. I’m calling the genre for this one Emotional Grease.
