In the frantic lead-up to our departure from London, I decided to make a few more mixes from the records I picked up during our brief time there. The first two draw from Soul, Funk, Disco and Boogie 12s and 45s. The third pulls from Rocksteady, Reggea, and DJ 45s. These come to you from Bed-Stuy (Brooklyn). I hope you enjoy them as much as I’ve enjoyed making them.
