Eversince we downloaded this compilation from the Harambe website we’ve been playing it to death at the AG headquarters.

After receiving a dozen or so emails from people demanding that we find out more I decided to get in touch with Mr C and DeePea. In this interview they talk about the process of putting this out, track selections, inspirations and future releases. Read more to check it out…
