Listen to these Tribute Mixes for Phife Dawg, Prince and David Bowie
So far, 2016 has been pretty serious about not letting us get too distracted from our mortality. Here to remind us all about the joy of being alive: a foursome of tribute mixes full of classics plucked from the #RIP2016 stream that's been flooding our days.
Prince Tribute Mixes
Every Prince selection is bound to trigger debate, so I'll give you two:
one with mainly lesser known cuts, mixed a few years ago for Red Bull Music Academy by DJ U-Tern ...
... and one focused more on classics by Raji Rags for NTS
Phife Dawg Tribute Mix by Gilles Peterson
Let it be known: Phife is missed. Even if you're not familiar with his music/legend, this mix is a sure shot.
Focusing on the funky stuff from the 1974-1984 period of David Bowie's legacy.
