Mix Monday: Bass Clef - Fact Mix

I may be about a year late to this one but I've only just discovered Bass Clef's excellent Fact Mix via the also excellent Spannered website. 45 minutes of sweet african sounds to welcome back the sunshine. Not much more to say except that your life will be richer after a dose of this. Download or stream it below:

Groucho Marxx - Mix and Free Tunes

A mix and some free tunes from one of my favourite producers on the scene right now. Groucho Marxx draws elements from house, uk funky, afrobeat, baile funk etc to create a sound that is altogether his own. I've been rinsing his tunes out everywhere recently and he's very kindly let me give a couple of them away free on the blog.

First up though, a recent mix that I picked up from his blog. You can grab it here:

El Cubano combines latin keys with funky house beats and bass to devastating effect. Every time I've played this out it has gone off:
