Moomin: The Ransom Note Mix

Berlin-based producer Moomin's third album Yesterday's Tomorrows came out earlier this year via Wolf Music, and in something of a new direction, it found him incorporating his love for hip-hop, jungle, funk and breaks into his usual sample-led deep house sound.

We're very happy to welcome Moomin on board to our Ransom Note mix series, especially as this instalment finds him digging deep and exploring the hip-hop section of his record collection. Listen / download below and then read on for our Q&A…
