Mixtape Mondays launches this week with Gianni Lee & Mike Blud's Yeezus The Samples, followed by dope mixes from Jamie XX live in the mix from Night + Day Berlin and DJ Jazzy Jeff live at the Do-Over in Los Angeles. Saying that this week's haul is epic could be trite, but is more likely an understatement. Check this week's selection of mixes to see what we mean.
Gianni Lee and Mike Blud drop Yeezus The Samples - a mixtape tribute to Kanye West's latest project. The compilation pays homage to the art direction of the Yeezus LP, arriving without a tracklisting. Gianni Lee & Mike Blud meticulously arrange a stack of samples that clocks in just short of the 1 hour mark and provides an in-depth view of Ye's musical influences and direction during the production of the project. The mix even features a bit of production from Gianni Lee during the intro. Check the sounds below to get a different take on the release as Yeezus mania continues.

The mix came ahead of his appearance with The XX at Night + Day in London this past weekend. The festival featured Solange, Floating Points and Benji B amongst others. Check the mix below to get a taste of unadulterated dope from Jamie XX.

DJ Jazzy Jeff and Skillz invaded The Do-Over in Los Angeles on May 13th to deliver a crazy set that spread love with hip-hop and soul as well as a few gems for the crate diggers and a bit of love to up and coming west coast artists and Cali classics. Jazzy Jeff is known around the globe for setting the turntables on fire. This mix is but a continuation of his time-honored tradition. Check the tunes below.
