Over the weekend, South African superstar DJ, Black Coffee, stopped by UK’s BBC Radio 1 to share a 2-hour long Essential Mix. The “Afropolitan House Music” connoisseur played an eclectic set, blending smooth cuts from Fat Freddy’s Drops, Vince Watson and St. Germain with energetic mixes by Funkadelic, Stones & Bones, Benny T and more. The producer also shared some of his own previously unreleased songs and remixes during the session. “It’s just a reflection of the music that I love playing,” mentions the musician. Peep the mix and tracklist below, and revisit Black Coffee’s Mixmag set from this past summer.
