Juno Daily – In The Mix: Big Dada special

The iconic London label treats us to an hour of music old and new

Big Dada have brought us many great ting sin their time, from Roots Manuva’s distinctive rap tones to the Mercury Prize scooping Speech Debelle and Young Fathers.  Add to that current roster names like Hype Williams, Sampa The Great and Yaya Bey and you’ve got one of the hottest names in the business.

In January of this year, it was announced that the lognstanding imprint would relaunch as a label run by and for black, POC and minority ethnic artists and staff. May Mahmoudi is a scout for Big Dada, working behind the scenes to provide resources for underrepresented artists and bring the freshest sounds to the ears of the public. In her capable hands, we’re treated to an hour of Big Dada brilliance, from DJ Manny’s downtrodden footwork, LYZZA’s neo-futurist dancehall, and Nidia Minaj’s disjointed batida.

Mahmoudi said of the mix: “In this mix Big Dada delves into new and old sounds & artists pushing boundaries, with some label favorites as well as hints as to what the label’s new signings will be in 2022.” Listen on…
