Mad Mike x Fras Twinz, Happy Daze Mix:  Our folks the Fras Twinz outta Kingston linked up with Italy’s Mad Mike to give you the wicked new mix CD Happy Daze.  Enlisting Mad Mike for the mix was a good look, considering he’s also 1/4 of one of our top-rated juggling machines here at MM, Kalibandulu.  Leading off with the Fras Twinz-produced riddim of the same name (the Beenie sell awwfff) we move into the massive overtime riddim and more current dancehall selections straight from yard.  Slap wehh.  Stream below, download single track here, tracked version here
