FUTURONOSTRO mixtape lead
Monday is for Mixtapes. This week we are proud to lead off with some French future soul from Futuronostro (that's a superhero team up of our dudes at No(w)FUTUR and the excellent beats-oriented French label/crew Cosmonostro--more on them soon!) as well as some UK club sounds from Jamie XX x Boiler Room, afro-beats from DJ Nore and solid soul from Chairman Mao venturing 'across 135th street' yet again (R.I.P. Bobby Womack, that original pioneer of crossing uptown streets--9th Wonder created a tribute mix in honor of the fallen soul legend, which we felt needed its own post). Hit play on those below to get out Monday on track--and stay tuned as we add more essential mixes through out the day; it's Mixtape Monday all day.
Duo No(w) FUTUR have linked up with French label cosmonostro for a jaw dropping mix of futuristic beats as Futuronostro. Featuring selections from all around the world, this set will have your head nodding to the freshest Cosmonostro talent. Peep the stream and tracklist below.

Jamie XX recently spun a "homage to London" set on Young Turks' rooftop for Boiler Room. He mixes in some new material with classic UK Club. The results will cause you to drop what you're doing and search for the nearest Jamie XX DJ date. You can watch video of the performance below.
Chairman Mao does no wrong. As part of RBMA RADIO team, he has crafted a mix titled Enjoy Rap Music (and beats) as a part of his Across 135th Street series. It features some of the finest underground rappers as well as unreleased instrumental hip hop. You'll hear Apollo Brown and Roc Marciano followed by instrumentals from Tall Black Guy and Supa Dave West. Stream the goodness below.
The always abundant Okayafrica supplied us with this "afro-beats workout" mix from the UK, the latest in a whole afro-beats series from DJ Nore. Give your afro-beats a workout and stream below after you check out the full backstory via OKA:
London’s DJ Nore has been quietly churning out a steady supply of “afrobeats” mixes over the years. Three months back he dropped a solid Best Of Wizkid tape. For his latest, Nore compiled 58 minutes worth of our favorite Naija pop gym music into his very own Afrobeats Summer Workout Mix. The 38-track exercise tape features the likes of Nigerian (and then some) heavyweights Timaya, Flavour, Davido, and Star Boys Wizkid and L.A.X.

Just in case the last mix wasn't enough motivation, DJ Rahdu has come correct with a workout-inspired mix of his own. The 12th installment in his Diamond Soul XXXperience series goes hard in the paint with a positively filthy remix of Stevie Wonder's "I Wish" and has enough steady kick drum get you doing more reps than 50 Cent in that "In Da Club" video. Pay close attention to the flip of new master trumpeter Takuya Kuroda's "Afro Blues"--it's a head-spinning dose of synthified house that somehow retains the glorious airy space of Kuroda's original.

Londoners Eaux have put together what's definitely the strangest--and perhaps the smartest--mix in this week's roundup. In an interview with Fader, Eaux said that their hoped to craft an immersive, slightly dark mix. "Layering and blending tracks is always fun and hopefully enhances the trippiness," they said in the conversation. Press play and you'll be swept away by Jon Hopkins's masterful space-roving single "Open Eye Signal," only to be brought back in by Darkside's "Freak Go Home" half an hour later. Late night rooftop stargazing is just as essential of a summer activity as mid-day grilling, and this mix should suit the constellations' light just right.
