This time Uncle Pengpeng blesses us with an Afrobeats mix to get your hips moving quick to help you lose a few pounds before you head to the beach. Afrobeats have been evolving into a huge worldwide crossover trend and if you’re not hearing any of these tracks at your local spot it’s time to head to a different club. Lukie locks down all the latest fire out of Africa with this one so press play and get familiar. Stream below:
DJ Rosegold, Lime: As J’Ouvert morning begins to wind down in Bermuda today we found the perfect soca mix to help make you feel the vibes even if you’re not currently on a tropical island. Toronto’s DJ Rosegold has compiled the perfect mix of this year’s big soca tunes to get you in a feteing mood. Caribana is just around the corner so make sure your waistline is nice and limber.
