Mixpak FM 008 is brought to you by our new kid on the block Koyote! Actually, the man is a serious veteran, check out his history here.

This odyssey mix (it’s 90 minutes!) runs through some new and exclusive music off his forthcoming EP, Detroit house, electronica from Aphex Twin to Zomby and some of the best new mutations out there. Alls we’re saying is this one’s deep!

drop this from Finnish beatmakers Femme en Fourrure on the 18th of March, as part of their Bronco EP (which also features some dark remixes from Nguzunguzu, Teeth & Square Mode). The video’s got horses, vomit and snow, typical day in Scandinavia, right?
