No sábado passado James Blake sucedeu à poderosa sessão de Jamie XX no programa de Pete Tong – BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix, num set que misturou Arthur Russell, Stevie Wonder, Snoop Dogg ou D’Angelo e música do próprio menino-prodígio do dubstep.
Para que não encaixa bem com as baladas interiores e contemplativas do músico britânico e precisa de mais energia e cafeína, esta Essential Mix é perfeita pois acelera o ritmo numa cadência mais upbeat, variando entre a música clássica e o hiphop, o dubstep ou soul. Entre tão criteriosa selecção, o músico partilhou 3 novas canções “Olivia Kept”, “Deeds” e “Evening Fell Hard For Us”, que se presume pertencerem ao novo EP Enough Thunder que será editado a 10 de Outubro. Descarreguem a Essential Mix aqui.
