Awkmo fam and Reel Rebels Radio mainstay Paul Ackroyd aka Kamikaze has emerged from Kamikaze Towers with a series of new shows. Firebird and Pump Dat Jam went out on Reel Rebels last week kicking off a new set of sessions dedicated to some great under the radar bits of 2018 and the first few months of this year.
Around 90 minutes each the track list is damn great, loaded with joints from all over the world crossing a tonne of genres we love and a whole heap we hadn’t heard of. Pump Dat Jam is curated with tracks of either 80 or 160bpm -ish tempos which as a concept alone I love. Check them both out below, more to come no doubt.
