Night Slugs producer extraordinaire Bok Bok, best known for his ultra-modernist beats for R&B singer Kelela, has just shared the second installment in his “Essentials” mix series. Vol. 2 is available as a free download on the series’ webpage and is also streaming on SoundCloud.
The mix premieres two fresh, characteristically spacious and percussive Bok Bok cuts, “You Know Already” and “Island Hopping,” plus an untitled collaboration with Sweyn Jupiter and grime MC Flirta D. On the whole, it is a slightly more eclectic, groovy, and vocal-heavy collection than the rather minimalist volume one; but just like that installment, it features several remarkably fresh edits of American R&B bangers, including a drum & bass revamp of Tink’s “Treat Me Like Somebody” by Chicago DJ Dannn.
Check out the full tracklist below the stream, and download the mix here.
