New Mixtape out with Laid Back Radio and Counterweight Records

Talk is cheap and good music is priceless. This mix compiled by Swedish DJ/producer Devastate from Counterweight Records showcases the label's musical ambitions mixing classic boom bap sounds with soulful beats and various jazzy instrumental gems. It’s an one hour mix filled with laid back music that demands you to sit down, be quiet and really listen. Enjoy! 

DJ Devastate has dropped various instrumental projects and also produced artists like: Ed O.G, El Da Sensei, Masta Ace, Reks, Termanology and many others. His earlier mixtape releases include collaborations with BBE Records, Fremdtunes, Basementality and Waxpoetics. 

Counterweight Records just dropped their first single “Medicine” Featuring ADL available on 7” vinyl through their website, also out as a digital release.

DJ Devastate - Sit Down & Shut Up! by Ldbk on Mixcloud

Create & Devastate spinnin 24/8 - Metro (Möllan, Malmö)

Stockholm 5/11 - 6/11 LEVIS & Club B-Line (Berns Terrace).

When my album dropped last week i got booked for two shows up in Stockholm. So I jumped on the train, read a book, got off and checked in. The first show was on thursday 5/11 at LEVIS store downtown Stockholm. The event was to promote the store but also a releaseparty for the new issue of CAFE' magazine. Nice crowd, free stuff, good food and free drinks. I had a good time spinning records for over three hours. Big up to Jerry for making it happen!

On friday Segerfalk came to Stockholm and we went to Berns Terrace venue to do a set at Club B-Line. This gig was to promote my album so me and Segerfalk did a Jazz/Funk set the first hours of the night. With me on the decks and Segerfalk behind on keys. When the crowd started forming J-Ro (Alkaholiks) stepped up on the mic to help me out and get the dancefloor going. The later hours of the night got rocked by DJ Mad Mats & Moon-Rock (and me). I got to see and take part of some certified B-Line madness! Real nice night! Peace to Moon-Suck for making it happen!
