Hear An Early Stream Of DJ Rashad's Posthumous 'Afterlife' LP

If you're a fan of Chicago's footwork scene, the name DJ Rashad should come as common place. And in the years since his untimely passing, Rashad's name, and the community he and Teklife nourished, have grown to mythological levels of reverence, adored by the rhythmically inclined and double-left-footed alike.

Today, the Windy City crew-turned-full-blown-label has released a compilation album of DJ Rashad's Teklife collaborations, as promised, touched by virtually every member of the camp; a proper salute to the fallen, still spiritual center of Teklife and it's now boundless appeal, built over racing rhythms and slickly soulful, glitched-out samples. The aptly-titled Afterlife LP, is officially out and about in the world, streaming for the righteously low price of free ninety-nine down below. But do yourself a favor, pick this one up on iTunes to continue to the journey from the comforts of your own home. You can also pre-order your copy of the album on wax via Teklife direct to hear the funk from between the dusty grooves and help support Rashad's family.

Stream Afterlife down below and hold tight for the next transmission.
