AFROSPACE 4
Selectors: prashant & mrjofa

Prashant's back in the country and managed to destroy mrjofa's studio with a notebook - meaning we aren't able to bring you the first half of the show on this recording. But we managed to fix up for the 2nd half with Santigold, and MIAs latest piece (Attention) rolling into a massive trap track Higher from xxtrakt and UK's Scruffizers' RapRave. Chilled it on a hip-hop tip - Andre 3000 with the choice verse from Rick Ross's Sixteen; followed by Big Boi/Jai Paul and a little Shabazz Palace. Kimbra and a little Serge Gainsbourg number simmers things down, followed by a cheeky jazz anecdote (Jneiro Jarel in his SOBM guise) and the quirky electronic-soul-pop of Little Dragon. Slipped into some warming spirit music from Roots Manuva and some dancehall pressure courtesy of Turbulence (on the Scallawah riddim) and Conroy Smith. Finished up with ESG's classic bboy break UFO and Thom Yorke's Black Swan taken from his superb solo LP The Eraser.
