Having performed a flurry of DJ sets this year amongst also producing his weekly FutureSound radio show (heard Saturday nights on iHeartRadio), finishing his sophomore LP and producing tracks for other artists/MCs, CUSCINO drops the first volume in his new Summer mixtape series.
Volume 1 of the series gives the listener a glimpse into the diverse cross-section of influences CUSCINO is known for weaving together not only as a music producer, but also during his DJ sets. These influences and CUSCINO's wide back catalog of hip-hop appreciation shine brightly in this hour-long, uniquely street-savvy set from CUSCINO.
Recorded live at a recent Friday night set at one of Downtown Los Angeles' hottest clubs, CUSCINO nimbly mixes between classics from Jay-Z to Flying Lotus, jumping space & time continuums from Aaliyah to Cashmere Cat, DJ Mustard to Miguel, and beyond. Volume 1 is only the beginning -- it is The Liftoff -- hour one of CUSCINO's four-hour long megamix from that night.
A tastemaker always watching the edge of new music, this mix from CUSCINO is meant to be enjoyed anywhere, anytime...on repeat.
Watch for more releases to come in the series as this DJ and music producer's name continues to build momentum on the West Coast, and as the mixes continue giving us the soundtrack to these hot, City Nights.
