Mixtape Mondays: Mayer Hawthorne, Chorizo Funk & Rudy Rexx

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

Some of you may have noticed last week that we were kinda on hiatus but Mixtape Mondays return with a couple of live DJ sets from a couple of great DJ's. A drunken Mayer Hawthorne revisits his past DJ days at a recent Cinco De Mayo event.  DJ Chorizo Funk teams up with percussionist Rudy Rexx for a live set of Afro-Latin music.

Mayer Hawthorne "Cinco De Mayer DJ Set 2013"

Before Mayer Hawthorne became known for being the falsetto crooner du jour, he was making waves in Detroit as DJ Haircut.  So here's live audio of Mayer Hawthorne in DJ Haircut mode at a Cinco De Mayo party.  And party it sounds like Mayer did!  He's obviously a little tipsy in spots, but the song selection is pretty damned good and definitely designed to keep people dancing... until the recorder stopped leaving us with only 36 documented minutes of the set.  We aren't gonna complain though.  We're just gonna go revisit that Robin Thicke "Blurred Lines" joint right now...
