Rad.io Vol 4
by Baron Mac
Originating from Derby (UK), Baron Mac (aka Christopher McIntosh) has planted roots amongst several emerging creative communities across the world. From London to Berlin, Amsterdam to Seoul, he has helped co-found radio platform deadHYPE, hold residencies and sets on Berlin Community Radio, Rinse France, NTS Radio, CCTV Radio and Seoul Community Radio and Boiler Room, and spark off energetic and eclectic sets from the US to Asia.
“For this playlist, I wanted to pay homage to one of the most sacred influences in my life: Black music. This collection follows a wonderfully rich and diverse journey through RnB, Afro Beat, Azonto, Dancehall, Kwaito, Hip Hop, Grime and Rap with some of my favourite artists. The message is one of defiance and solidarity; a celebration of rhythm, soul and profound intellect.”
The selection hits all the melodic feats, mixiing old legends such as Vybz Kartel with new ones like Dave and Blood orange. Clocking in at just over an hour it is as varied as the content within each bit of audio.
A cultural compilation.
