Lunice | BBC 1xtra Mix

[Lunice Fermin Pierre II, a.k.a. Lunice]

Montreal’s own Lunice Fermin Pierre II fashioned an hour long mix for BBC Radio 1Xtra as of late. The result is what followers might expect, which is a good thing; a creative concoction of cranked 808′s, cheeky melodies, and rattling high-hats. A few tracks to look out for include: Jamie xx and  Gil Scott Heron‘s NY Is Killing Me, Kaytranada‘s Holy Hole Inna Donutand a freshly pressed TNGHT manicure of Good Music’s Clique (56:00!).

artworks-000036999354-qg7qzr-original

DJ Q out of Huddersfield, UK, just dropped this VIP of his infectious UKG number “Brandy and Coke,” in which Q integrates the vocal hook from Groove Armada’s “My Friend.” In exchange for a ‘like’ on the Local Action Records Facebook page, you can download a copy of the track.

Q recently parted ways with BBC 1Xtra after seven years spinning UK garage on air. We look forward to hearing more from him in the future.
