Mixpak FM 088 comes from NY-based producer, DJ and painter, Lil Jabba. Though known predominantly for his explorations in footwork, Jabba is a versatile producer with an impressive back catalogue, including a full length album on Local Action, and a second now in sight. His Mixpak FM brings forth the sounds and influences from his latest EP, Keep, that broadly takes its cues from rap, grime and jungle. A near cinematic experience – in places beatless, in places frenetic – it melds his own material with tarraxo, grime, Young Thug and Aphex Twin. You can subscribe to Mixpak FM via iTunes, subscribe with an RSS reader from the Mixpak FM site or download this mix directly.
