the big 4-0 and celebrated with a road trip across California, of course picking up some vintage vinyl on his way. He has put together a selection of Latin grooves to remember the good times by, and I have it on heavy rotation here at the DAILY DIGGERS HQ. I appreciate that is a mile away from our usual selection of boom bap beats and frenzied drums here at BREAKS FOR DAYS BEATS FOR WEEKS, but trust me when I tell you that JAKE knows his onions when it comes to music, so you can be assured of some top notch quality sounds. He spends so much time reading the production credits and artist liner notes on the back of LP covers that he often goes crosseyed for hours at a time (see photo).Whether you are in the mood to sit back and relax, or shake your thing til the break of dawn, this mix will satisfy your needs. Enjoy.

If this is the same Jake who I used to spin with in Brighton Jazz rooms way back, dude knows his latin bangers. The maths adds up (I'm gonna be 40 this year too) and the picture looks about right given this is 15 years later.
Haven't seen him in years, so good to see he's still a wax fool (assuming it's the same dude lol!).
Opened mixcloud to check the list, yup it's on. Cant deny Latin beats, it's still hip-hop to me. NY Latinos a major fabric of Hip-Hop architecture since year dot.
