Earlier this year, the Akwaaba label kindly gave away the acapella for huge Ghanaian hit ‘Agyeeei’ by R2Bees as part of a remix contest. Mixpak’s Dubbel Dutch took the vocal and flipped it over a deep dancehall bassline and a heap of jumping synth & percussion. It’s up for free download:

Jubilee dropped a mix for The Fader yesterday:
Here we have 43 minutes of non-stop party rock showcasing her Miami bass and breaks influences, manifest in two tracks from her new EP, Pop It!. Both “Overtown” and the EP’s title track conjure the sweaty, strobe-lit spaces where Jubilee reigns supreme with sassy vocal samples and unrelenting breakbeats.
Mixpak FM 033 comes from London’s Famous Eno. Once part of Warrior One – who released their Lord of Bashy EP on Mixpak in 2010 – he has now gone solo and will be releasing his first solo single, ‘All Good FM’, with us this summer.
His Mixpak FM embodies both his influences and the concept behind ‘All Good FM’ – slipping in between new undergound UK sounds, classic ragga, grime, hip hop and soul, surfing genres like a radio dial and intersecting the music with farflung soundbites. The mix explains itself…and watch for the preview of his Mixpak track!
You can subscribe to Mixpak FM via iTunes, subscribe with an RSS reader from the Mixpak FM site or download this mix directly.
