Stream releases from Footshooter, Kawuku Sound, Brownswood Bubblers, Andy Rantzen, and Native Cruise. If you like what you hear, support the artists.

The latest from London based producer, DJ and musician Footshooter deftly blends broken beat, nu-jazz, beats and spoken word with live instrumentation. Like his prevoius EP, Strange Days, Technicolour Nights, rewards listeners with new and exciting details on every listen.
Kawuku Sound – Kawuku Sound
Kawuku Sound is the coming together of UK producers Contours & Cervo and Ugandan percussion troupe Fonkodelis Arkestra. This is the culmination of a month-long creative process that was born out of the Nyege Nyege affiliated Boutiq Studio in Kawuku, Kampala, Uganda. Top notch Afro-electronic vibes all round!
