LET THEM COOK VOL. 4 welcomes one of our oldest & closest mates, the beloved Curtis Hunter ❤️ Born & raised in Portsmouth, England, Curtis brings together records that blur the lines between Jazz, Afrobeat, Latin Music & Downtempo Electronica. Carefully selected for their rhythm, atmosphere & sense of place, his choices provide the perfect backdrop for an evening of great food, conversation & music.
