Speaking of not sleeping.
AO is producing The Audible Cargo Pillows again for our Don't Sleep promotion.

audibleobjects podcast 001

DJ Shiro set it off with his Deeply Rooted Vol.01 Podcast. His set features him mixing underground hip hop with old school dub. Some of the highlights of the mix are the intro and the King Tubby/Badu mashup and my personal favorite part is the Haiku De Tat + King Tubby+ Jacob Miller. it's not everyday you get these kind of mixes for free.
