Fashion group Oki-Ni have done it again. Their canny ear for a producer at the top of their game is unparalleled. Andrew Weatherall‘s mixtape for them a while back was phenomenal and Alexander Nut‘s new ‘WUTANGISFORTHECHILDREN’ mix lives up to the reputation.

Here we have a brand new mix from Ben UFO and Jackmaster, an ode to the art of the warm-up set. Here are a few words from Ben about his work with his cohort:
Last week we announced that NGUZUNGUZU were responsible for the debut release on Fade To Mind. To celebrate the nascent label, the big boss man Kingdom has put together a mixtape for Oki-Ni showcasing tracks from the likes of Clicks & Whistles, MikeQ, Jam City, Addison Groove and of course the man himself.
“This mix marks the inauguration of my new label Fade to Mind, and its first release, Nguzunguzu’s Timesup EP. It contains songs from that EP as well as my upcoming single for Fool’s Gold, “Take Me” featuring Naomi Allen of Electrik Red, among other exclusive tracks and edits from the Fade To Mind universe. Singular subwoofer visions, sideways club trax, and darksided R&B dubs.” – Kingdom
It’s dark, it’s heavy. Head here to listen.
So often we hear about throwaway, completely average producers being described as “legendary”. Andrew Weatherall, on the other hand, is one of the few artists in the electronica field who could actually be described as thus.
I’m sure I don’t need to explain the significance of Andrew Weatherall or that he was one of half of seminal production team Two Lone Swordsmen. However, I will quickly explain that he’s been going since the late eighties and has created some of the most jaw-dropping remixes in most genres one could name.
Anyway, that aside he recently put together a mixtape for the lucky bastards at Oki Ni. It’s a free release containing all manner of exciting artists that rarely get the coverage they deserve, in particular Bright Black Morning Light (a band I recently discovered and now love).
