Mixtape Mondays: Four Tet, LeFtO, & BreakBot Mix Things Up With Major Sets
This week's Mixtape Monday includes a massive Four Tet mix, an out of this world episode of LeFtO's show, and an upbeat disco collection from Breatkbeat in partnership with Solé bicycles. Start your week on the good foot with a soundtrack for every mood. Click through to peep the latest mixes full of dope music.
Four Tet's recent visit to the Solid Steel Show saw him drop a genre-spanning two-hour mix that only he would put together. He described it has:
"made from unofficial edits and mixes. I guess these edits were mainly made to be played in clubs and I’ve always like the tradition of DJs extending and rearranging to make things work in their sets. Most of the edits here are unreleased because they are just tools for DJs really. The Black Unity one was done for the Solid Steel US tour that I did in 2001.”
