HL pal and next level world music aficionado, Russ Jones has passed us a fresh new mix to get us in the mood for summer festival season. Drawing heavily on the same rich vein of music that inspired the killer ‘Gypsy Beats and Balkan Bangers‘ compilation (volume 2 coming soon!) the mix blends in a whole host of soca, baille funk and latin influences to create a heady fusion of world-not-world party music.

Not many deejays have the ability to make sense of so many diverse musical scenes without losing all sorts of quality control, so it’s a credit to the man that he is able to consistently cherry pick the goodstuff from the ends of the earth and have time to do anything else but endlessly listen to music!
 
Anyway, for your delictation, here is the aural equivalent to a night in the pub with Phileas Fogg.

Enjoy.
