An active and inventive band since the early 2000s, GaBLé craft music that bristles with a DIY spirit, unpredictability and joyful madness. After seven years, the French trio of Mathieu Hubert, Thomas Boullay and Gaëlle Jacqueline, returned earlier this year with PiCK THe WeaK, a new album which they composed and recorded over two years and is a testament to their singular musical universe, blending an array of instruments and genres with experimental sounds and playful charm. We're excited they put together this superb mix for us, curated entirely from their CD collection! Press play and dive into their kaleidoscopic sonic world of influences.

The Berlin based duo Oy, made up of Swiss-Ghanian multi-instrumentalist Joy Frempong and drummer / producer Lleluja-Ha, are a treat of a band and we've been hooked on their sounds ever since we first heard them. Oy offer a rich and intoxicating blend of music genres, from electronic and soul to jazz and African music, laced with Joy's engaging and quirky storytelling. So we've asked them to take us on an tour of the sounds that have inspired them and the resulting mixtape below is further evidence of just how versatile they are with genres.
