Aor Agni leads this episode

Get ready for another memorable episode, beginning with an introduction from Julien of Aor Agni in France. We begin with some cinematic trip hop and then get funky with a j-pop track from Hemz & Shigeko, followed by some dubstep/cumbia fusion from Joelito (of emayocutz.com) and Vate. Some of these tracks are not on any label or netlabel, while others might be familiar to you.

We’ve also got a deep remix from El Petit Jardi in Spain (found on ccMixter), some representation for the Id.eology netlabel with Authist & Dub One!, plus tracks from Izmar, a brand-new track from Shyam Monk, one from Tikki Masala, and a Cydelix track from the newest release on Cosmicleaf: “The Right to Remain Silent.” Get ready for an eclectic pleasure trip!
