Mix Thirteen

Forgot about the number thirteen being unlucky, fortune favours the funky and so does our latest mix. This one's got something very special and ultra-rare from Earth, Wind & Fire, which with a mixture of good fortune and hard work we were able to find. It wasn't easy, but we love a good treasure hunt. The sound quality on the track isn't perfect, but you'll see that the slight compromise is well worth it.

Mix thirteen also sees the long-awaited return of Luther Vandross and we sample for the first time the musical talents of one Quincy Jones. It all kicks off with a stunning 8 minute Joey Negro remix of a Roy Ayers classic called 'Sugar', which is bound to get you movin'. If it doesn't, then I don't know what will my friend! (just kidding). We hope you enjoy our latest offering. If you do, then we'd love to hear from you via facebook, twitter or right here on this post.
