It’s Saturday. You’ve had a very long and tired work/school week, and your vacation on with AWOL Sun seems close, but so far away. Need to relax? We’ve got you covered.
As we count down the weeks until the 4th annual AWOL Sun in Cabo San Lucas, every Friday we’ll be pairing a refreshing cocktail with a track or mix from one of our talented acts. Decompress from the stress of day-to-day life with a beverage and some great music – because sometimes, that’s really all you need.
Dillon Francis – Diplo and Friends BBC RADIO 1Xtra
With ‘Summer Vibez’ in the title of this mix, what more can we ask for? Once again, Dillon delivers a perfectly blended mix that gets you moving right from the get-go. First off, he goes through an entire moombah segment, reminding us why we love moombahton. Then he glides into a harder jump-up style later in his set, using some of the newer and softer sounds we’ve heard coming from him lately. This set is solid all the way through. Tune in and chill out.
