JON KENNEDY FEDERATION: For Stuarts London (2014)

Jon Kennedy here delivers an exclusive nineteen track DJ mix of JK Federation label-only tracks in conjunction with Stuarts London which he’s somehow resisted the temptation to call ‘Music To Dress To.’ Tailoring outfit Stuarts London have been in the game for nearly half a century and seem to have risen to prominence in the 70s and 80s supplying the ‘casual’ football subculture with all their clothing needs. This downtempo mix has anything but the connotations you’d expect of Stanley knife wielding hoolies in Pringle and Lacoste …READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM
