Guitar maestro Derek VanScoten has gifted fans with a hump day special to get them through the week. The D.V.S* 50-minute Daybreak Disco mix is a shimmering beacon of solace and relaxation in the midst of brutal winter temps. It's summer in a can.
VanScoten brings us his takes on arguably the best INXS song, recent returnees to the scene Ratatat, and a scintillating Four Tet reworking. He also throws in tunes form Kaytranada and Bonobo, closes out the set with his wildly popular Bassnectar remix, and bookeneds the sets with his original "Daybreak" (hence the name).
Busy schedule coming up for the six-string-slinger--catch him out east through mid-January.
