NO LOVE LOST is very excited to kick-off this week’s download with an upfront, woofer warping mixtape by longtime bass music flag wavers, BOK BOK & MANARA.

From their home base in South London, Alex BOK BOK and Sara MANARA have worked tirelessly to earn a just reputation as one of Britain’s best underground heavy bass duos.

BOK BOK & MANARA are one of a microcosm of young artists who can rightfully claim a founding hand in today’s booming sea of new dance music sub-styles influenced by elements of U.K. Garage, U.S. RnB, Hip Hop and Dub.

HIS MAJESTY ANDRE in the mix exclusively for NO LOVE LOST
http://www.zshare.net/audio/136099493800268e/

The current issue of excellent U.S. dance music magazine XLR8R (download a PDF of the entire issue for free at the link below) has an article on the new wave of exciting DJs and producers all hailing from Italy, featured in the article are previous No Love Lost Mixtape project guests THE BLOODY BEETROOTS (NLLR Mix #12,) CONGOROCK (NLLR Mix #09 ,) 3 IS A CROWD (NLLR Mix #22) alongside CROOKERS, BLATTA & INESHA and London based bad boy MOWGLI (NLLR Mix forthcoming.) There are however three extremely talented Italian’s noticeable by their absence in XLR8R’s otherwise solid article, the supremely fresh CLARK ABLE (NLLR Mix #52,) the musically dexterous NIC SARNO (NLLR Mix forthcoming) and royal club thumper HIS MAJESTY ANDRE. Lucky for all concerned then HIS MAJESTY ANDRE obliged my request to produce an exclusive mixtape for NO LOVE LOST, delivering a polished, velvety smooth mixture of upscale Fidget and House and provides us with yet further proof that Italy is indeed a true hotspot for vine ripe dance music talent at the moment.
