As you probably may know by now, the Appelsap Fresh Music festival in Amsterdam on July 31st will probably be one of the musical highlights of the summer. With artists such as Kendrick Lamar, Benny Sings, Random Axe, Lunice and The Blessings on board, we obviously can’t wait. To ease your impatience, we compiled a mix which features our highlights of the festival. Later this month, we’re throwing away a couple of free packages including tickets for the festival and the infamous afterparky. Hot damn, in a download or stream the mix in the cloud, after the jump.

Every now and then we’d like to give creative people the chance to compile their own Future Nest. This week we asked Maurice Ajanaku, editor in chief of online lifestyle magazine AJANAKU to highlight his current favorites. His selection is a real roller coaster ride combining some of the biggest names in music (Kanye West, Wale) with local artists (Kern Koppen, De Jeugd van Tegenwoordig) and ending the mix with soulful Nigerian stuff. Enter mr. Ajanaku’s world, download this week’s special edition. You can find the tracklist in the comments.
