The Texas thai-funk trio of Khruangbin has been putting out DJ mixes while we’re all hanging in social isolation, and today the group published a new one inspired by the island sounds around Jamaica, including some killer ska, reggae, and dancehall jams that will put you in a great vibe today. 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Check out the mix and the full track-list below. Excited to see some Nina Simone and Serge Gainsbourg on here, but a lot of the other stuff is new to me.
