Although most people know Mayer Hawthorne for his smooth vocals, heard on the disco-funk of Tuxedo or his retro, soulful solo work; he actually cut his teeth as a DJ for hip hop collective Athletic Mic League. Riding the wave of The Get Down, a Netflix original series exploring the origins of hip hop in New York City, Hawthorne shares his Super Disco Rappin’ mix, which features a range of classic tunes from the era.
Have a listen below and catch Mayer Hawthorne live at Band on the Wall on 18th November.
