M.I.A. ‘MATANGI’ Mix for Kenzo Show (VIDEO)

March 4th, 2013

M.I.A dropped an eight minute Matangi mix today which is a dangerously insane mix and there is nothing like it so far. The Sri Lankan born makes best use of her music knowledge and includes South Asian melodies, Hindi-movie singing, twisted beats, and thumping bass. The best part is when M.I.A herself shows up five [...]

Don’t miss Damian trying to interview Morrissey on The Wedge
