For the latest episode, Rook Record's welcomes Bay Area regular DJ Platurn into the fold. I guess the best way is to let the man introduce the mix himself:

"For this live mix I pulled some of my favourite 7s from my travels throughout Malaysia, Indonesia, Australia, Japan, China, New Zealand, and more. Choice 45s selections across this particular diaspora, but with no particular focus. Just amazing music via everyone's favourite format. Enjoy it for what it is -- excellent music that rarely sees the light of day. Finally, fuck the orange shitbag for insisting on holding on to his racist notions of everything not amerikkkan. Believe in science, believe in humanity, believe in education and have faith in the goodness of us all."

And with that said, let's check out the music!

Rook Radio welcomes Ljubljana-based DJ and producer, Sunnysun. Sunnysun lives a 360 degrees hip hop life. We got to know him as a versatile MC with impeccable freestyle skills. Then he shifted towards deejaying and recently established his own label, Big Nose Ent. Nowadays, when he is not dealing seeds and growing equipment, producing rap videos and running a record shop, he's tapping on his MPC. This episode was recorded live in Big Nose Shop in Ljubljana, Slovenia.
