French DJ Corrado teams up with Hip Hop Core to showcase on of the scene’s most solid senders and all round headfunker, Kankick. He first came to my attention via his association with the Stones Throw label and has since impressed with a rather prolific output of studio recordings and bedroom beat tapes since. Some great collaborators on this set too. Kankick’s the shit, yo.

The irrepressible Pilooski live in the mix va Eamon Harkin’s web spot.
“It’s been a very busy summer but now with Sunday Best and The Beach Party in full flight there’s a little breathing room in an otherwise hectic schedule to launch websites, release records and get through the general back log.
More to come on all of that in time but for now I’m happy to finally post a gem of a mix from Pilooski recorded live at the Mister Saturday Night loft/warehouse party from last month. No track list on this one but I can say its a treasure trove of edits from all the top players in the game. Just what you’d expect from the Parisian master. Here you go…”

Another music in a different kitchen… and Another Angle in a different headspace this week with less tunes, more attitude (altitude). Music for the subconscious and those whose consciousness has left the building. Good times ahead.
