Sum up this mix in 10 words…

It’s deffo giving sing along and summertime kind of vibes!

What’s your personal favourite track on it?

My personal favourite track on here is my Buju Banton bootleg ‘Come Test Mi’ just because I’m so proud of the fact that I made it and it is what has given me the passion to keep at it with the production.

What’s the special ingredient in this mix?

The special ingredient in this mix is definitely all of the great Dub Shotta tracks.

The next few gigs I have coming up that I’m really excited about are DJ Ron’s London Something Lauch on the 27th of July and the Jungle Cakes residency on the 26th of July at XOYO it will be a busy weekend haha

When was the last time you actually raved?

To be honest, when I play at an event I usually hang around for the whole night and rave it up but the last really good rave I went to that I didn’t play at was Jungle Mania at E1
