Our girl Jessie Ware recently headed over to the BBC Radio 1 studios to take some time to explain her influences and inspirations in the form of a minimix for Annie Mac. The likes of Chaka Khan, Janet Jackson, Whitney Houston, Sade and some other classics pop up. The girl definitely knows her music.

Like clockwork, Hudson Mohawke drops his annual Valentines Slowjams mix, incredibly now in it’s 5th year. No need to even second think this one – it’s HudMo, you know exactly what this is. Ladies & Gents – bun phoney cards and cheap flowers, press play on this and get to it.

True G material within this 43 minutes.

DāM-FunK and I share an affinity for Prince. It’s actually the thing that introduced me to his productions in the first place. His music carries such a distinct Prince perfume, it’s unavoidable to any Purple worshipers ear and so I rightly trust him when it comes to his Prince mixes.

For the Wax Poetics ten-year anniversary and issue 50 (Prince Issue), Stones Throw’s DāM-FunK conjurers up an exclusive Prince DJ mix which also includes a brand new DāM-FunK track. Schweet.

… As you would imagine, this bumps. Selections for days – including rare cuts like ‘Wet Dream Cousin’ and that ’17 Days’ remix DāM throws in is just plain ol’ naaaasty.

Listen and download below.

P.s It’s crucial we celebrate the legends we have while they’re still here. Press play and get fonky.
