British mavericks Red Snapper have proven to be one of the most consistently inventive and ground-breaking band since their inception in the early 90's. Crafting a unique sound combining traditional jazz instrumentation and contemporary electronica, the outfit of Rich Thair, Ali Friend and David Ayers, and more recent member Tom Challenge, are well known for their thrilling live shows. Being huge fans, we asked Red Snapper to curate this month's mixtape and the band's groove master Rich Thair put together a tremendous collection of tracks. Enjoy!
