DJ Spinna & BBE Soundsystem present one of the more titillating mixtape experiences with Strange Games & Funky Things Volume 5, out September 28th. Preview the tracklisting and music here. Said to bridge the gap between 70s soul, 80s rare groove and 90s mega hip hop, all we know is we like the mood and separation from our current realities. D’accord.
