The Cooks – Fresh Taste #46

Welcome to the new edition of the Fresh Taste show with a special guest mix from London based producer, remixer, actor, DJ and singer-songwriter Emeson. As comfortable in front of a mic and as adept behind the production boards, Emeson has been creating soulsonic sounds and penning compositions for as long he can remember. Heavily influenced by his father’s record collection, sound systems and the 8-track car systems of yesteryear, Emeson’s own production soundscape includes soul, blues, jazz, electronica, reggae and dub vibes.

On this guest mix for the second hour of the show, he includes reflipped remixes, forthcoming music from his new projects, new artists and a plethora of well known and soon to be known classics. Kramos takes care of the first hour with a superb batch of fresh soulful joint to set the mood.
