Den Sorte Who?

30/10/2017Denmark's Sample Champs Prepare Magical Mixtape For Upcoming Le Guess Who? Festival
 

A little more than a week to go before Le Guess Who? festival raises the curtain on an awe-inspiring line up of top tier international acts in Utrecht (NL). That being said, school is already in session as Danish Grammy award winners, Roskilde Orange Stage legends and flat-our sample wizards Den Sorte Skole serve up a mind-melting one-hour mixtape just ahead of their very own festival appearance. And here's what they had to say:

"Le Guess Who is like this endless sea of different music, sounds and inspirational expressions. We could only capture a glimpse of this on a mixtape, but tried to bring together everything from the beauty to the weird and the ugly. After listening though material from almost everyone playing at this years festival, we are looking crazy much forward to coming over for both our own and all the other concerts."

As you may have come to expect of this duo extraordinaire, the result is absolutely amazing. So do yourself a favour and listen to the entire mixtape in the SoundCloud player above. And if you find yourself in dire need of a tracklist, well, that too has duly been taken care of...
