“It definitely reflects the sounds of London 2017.”

Grime producer Darq E Freaker has executive produced a new mixtape that showcases the strength of London’s music scene in 2017.

Made in collaboration with Red Bull Studios and photography duo Places+Faces, the mixtape features London drill crew 67, spoken word poet and musician Kojey Radical and West London MC Scrufizzer. Ciesay of Places+Faces has stated that “it definitely reflects the sounds of London 2017”, explaining: “When other countries, especially the States, think of the UK music scene, they’re either looking at grime or the UK drill music and not really noticing that there’s another style of music which has similarities to music coming from the States, but is also our own sound.”

Darq E Freaker, Daniel OG, Danny Seth, Lancey Foux and more will be launching the mixtape with a party at East London’s Studio Spaces on June 8.
