Audio: Murlo & Famous Eno on NTS

We released Murlo & Famous Eno’s grime track ‘Ariel’ (and the accompanying VIP video) last month. To celebrate, they were on London’s NTS Radio with Serocee & Trigganom for a one hour, one-off special. You can now listen back to the show via Eno’s soundcloud and try to identify as many weird grime tracks as you can. Watch out for some forthcoming Mixpak material hidden in the mix!

Famous Eno & Serocee have also put their touch to the Afrobeats smash ‘The Thing’, which they’re giving away as a free download, get it!

Melé Vanelé: Volume 2

As you probably know from his previous releases on Mixpak or from our interview, Melé is into his computer games. After dropping his first Melé Vanelé mixtape to great fanfare last year, the sequel has landed. A bit like his DJ sets, the mixtape jumps through rattling rap instrumentals, grime, dark hardcore-influenced tracks and, of course, that much-sought-after D.M.X re-version.
