Our dudes (The) Count (of Monte Cristal) and Sinden officially announced their signing to Domino Records, which is a nicely timed follow-up to their Essential Mix for BBC’s Radio 1, which aired this past weekend. Here’s the mix (up until the end of the week) and here’s the tracklist. It’s all gone Pete Tong! Kid Sister pops up all over the mix, including her own joints “Pro Nails” and “Switch Board,” her forthcoming collaboration with Pase Rock and Tittsworth called “WTF,” and her guest appearance on Count and Sinden’s first single, “Beeper,” which hits stores on March 16th.
