Had he not tragically passed away in 2014, Teklife founder and footwork pioneer DJ Rashad would have celebrated his 37th birthday yesterday. Because he’s not around to do it, Hyperdub boss Kode9 used the label’s Rinse FM show to raise a toast to a producer who redefined the sound of the 21st century.
If you’ve got ant interest at all in the life and work of one of the most musicians in the sphere of electronic music, we strongly advise you to get the mix on ASAP. Sure, it’s a day late, but get some cake in anyway. Oh, and if that wasn’t enough, the show features an incredible mix from THUMP favourite Cooly G too.
