Guest Mix: JONNY DROP (London, Albert’s Favourites)

Lexis — March 1, 2016

At the end of 2015 came the first release from a very promising label called Albert’s Favourites. It was a lovely new school beat tape meet old school trip-top two sided 7 inch from London’s Jonny Drop who is the co-founder along with our friend Scrimshire and Dave Koor of The Expansions.

We loved the EP and the full album that followed so much that we asked JD to make us a guest mix focused on his influences.

“Featuring tunes from the golden trip-hop of the late 90’s, through to some more modern beats, this vinyl journey highlights some of the records that influenced the making of of my debut release ‘Sub Plot’. I’ve always just loved that loop-based, drum heavy, beatsy soul!” – Jonny Drop
