For their album, Mega Mega Mega (out today), The Count & Sinden blended a petri dish of versatile styles, from cumbia to dancehall to their own homegrown UK funky. As a primer for that madness and a lens into their minds, this UK dancefloor canblaster of an Essential Mix is pure nuclear heat, with jacked up beats from newer dudes like French Fries and old greats like MJ Cole. It aired at 3 AM in the UK last Saturday, which as far as we're concerned is the witching hour. Can you imagine having a donut-making job and waking up to this on your alarm clock? You would totally end up MAKING ALL OF THE DONUTS. Tracklist after the jump.
