As the summer offically starts pretty miserably weather wise for some people, iamxl drops a brand new mix that makes it all sunshine and beaches with a jacking blend of Electro coated Reggae, Funk, Jazz, Hip-hop and Pop. Although the man from Vancouver has been hitting us up with plenty of his own remixes over the past few months this is his first mixtape outing since last year's Back To Berlin, a most welcome return indeed.

In his latest selections iamxl harks back to the days when he used to make mix tapes with two cassette decks, have Boyz N The Hood on repeat and upset his parents by blasting Gangsta rap at full volume. These cheeky little Electro refixes of some Hip-hop classics from the Vancouver veteran bubble along nicely enough with the Ice T and Too Short mixes but for us it’s all about the King T and Run DMC remixes that get just that extra bit dirtier and are aimed firmly at making sure those feet are on the floor and hands are up in the air.
