This week it’s an extra special mix in conjunction with good friend and rising print creative Lisa King as she celebrates the launch of her latest collection ‘Street Flora’ which features the ‘Screwprint’ and her pop-up shop in London’s Boxpark Shoreditch.

Lisa King has worked with an array of designers, from Boudicca and Diane Von Furstenberg, to Calvin Klein and Armani and was even been commissioned to work on the centre piece dress for the Victoria and Albert’s exhibition Kylie Minogue: Image of a pop star in 2007. This spring she also launch a super cool printed shoe collaboration with Clarks Originals.

Her pop-up shop opens from 23-30 May. Find more info on facebook.

Handbook nicely spreads an array of dusty beats with his latest chilled offering.

Born in Scunthorpe, UK, but raised in York, Handbook is one of the most talented beatmakers we have come across while surfing the oceans of internet.

Dustworks is released via Pragmatic Theory and adds further weight to their super cool discography.

A soulful drum n bass track to motivate your week from two legends in the genre.

For this fridays guest mix we have the retro-futuristic duo Futurecop.

Formed back in 2007, Manzur Iqbal and Peter Carol started to create music together that reminded them of their childhood. Since then they have gone on to tour all over the world receiving support and acclaim from the likes of Tiesto, Diplo, Annie Mac, even Kelly Clarkson, and all through out this journey their sense of nostalgia has remained central.

2013 has already been a big year for the Cop with the release of singles ‘Misanthropist Wolf’ and ‘Superheroes’ gaining major support. Plus with the planned release of two albums coming later this year things only seem to be getting bigger.

For their mix, Futurecop have put together a typically poppy retro infused collection of tracks to get your friday off to a good start. Or any day for that matter.

‘Our mix is a collection of tracks we love, vintage, dancey yet heartfelt. All the artists are people we really admire, because they break down genre boundries.’ – Futurecop
