Spotlight Mix: Luke West

DT got hooked on Luke West the minute we heard his debut EP, OOOOO (yep that’s five Os, or perhaps five gold rings if you’re feeling festive). The record offers a moody, stripped-back take on UK funky, akin to how Sully handles garage or Wen‘s approach to grime. Set to be the inaugural release on Sub Skank boss Akito‘s new Sans Absence label, the OOOO EP won’t hit the market until late January; however, since we know you guys want to stay ahead of the game, we’ve got a Spotlight Mix from Luke to whet your appetites.

Employing more boisterous tactics to his mix than his EP, Luke turns out an energetic journey through club-killing house, techno and UK funky. Running a similar vibe to the Night Slugs crew, it’s unsurprising to see the likes of L-Vis 1990, Addison Groove and Girl Unit on the tracklist; plus there’s work from Akito and London’s D Warrior – both of whom take remix duties on the OOOOO EP.

We think you’ll agree there’s no better way to get warmed up this weekend that cranking up the system and listening to Luke’s Spotlight Mix. Stream or download it below and check out the full tracklist at the bottom of the page. And to pick up a copy of the OOOOO EP, head over to the Sans Absence Bandcamp from January 22nd 2016.
