Heat.

I need it. You need it.

It’s been a long winter.

Time to loosen them bones.

The 12″ gets released mid-march so cop this mix to get started. The link is below these reactions….

“Ok these are banging! As expected, the Sofrito camp pulled some heavyweight selections, and Natural Self knocked ‘em out of the park with his trademark hyper-organic drums and arrangements that honor both the vibe on the original tunes and the asses on any dancefloor..”
Jeremy Sole (89.9 KCRW / Afro Funke’ / Musaics)

“ENORMOUS love!! Pure fire!”
Dom Servini (Wah Wah 45’s)

“Absolutely loving these tunes! Natural Self combined some essential elements: from heavy percussive beats to melodic rhythms plus some nice and warm synth sounds on top.
Can’t wait to play them out. Another brilliant Sofrito release that just won’t leave my bag.”
Dusty (Jazz & Milk, Germany)

“ Sir, I do believe you may have ruptured my spleen”

Zach Ahmed (The Goodness)

When he finishes sharpening his snare-sword in the shadow of Mount Fuji, the Kid likes to step back into the light of the sun as it lowers itself gently in the sky. Kick back for a little while. Even busy cats like him need to chill now and then, so he gets himself a drink and loads up a little bump and snap to come floating out the speakers.

Everybody loves the Sunshine, right?
