Optimo Essential BBC Mix à télécharger sur Pitchfork

C'est en consultant l'excellent blog du non moins excellent magazine Trax que j'ai découvert cette nouvelle qui réjouira tous les amateurs éclairés et éclectiques de groove frappé: Pitchforkmedia met à disposition en téléchargement un mix réalisé pour la BBC par  Optimo. Le duo écossais enchaîne raretés funk, hip hop old school, disco, krautrock, punk funk et tueries electro avec une maestria peu commune, un à-propos rare et une fluidité exceptionnelle.
