  1. Q-Tip remixed
    Q-Tip’s latest album The Renaissance is a real return to form for the former A Tribe Called Quest rapper. Here he mixes it up the title track with Busta Rhymes, Lil Wayne and Raekwon of the WuTang. He plays his debut Irish show on the 13th of March in the Button Factory.

  3. Tenaka free EP
    Limerick’s Ronan Carroll offers up a superb free 4 track release called Eponymously Titled filled with atmospheric lilting electronic pop for free. For fans of Four Tet, Warp and chillout music (when that term was a signifier of quality).
