“Will Sessions impressed many with the meticulous craftsmanship of their studio re-workings of the classic tracks for “The Elmatic Instrumentals.” With their new two-part video “Mix Takes,” the five-piece band is taking a similar approach in recreating some of their favorite songs–only this time it was all recorded and filmed live in real time.”
The Will Sessions – Mix Takes was released on limited edition vinyl from Fat Beats but sold out straight away but is also available from Will Sessions BandCamp page. Also available is a FREE DOWNLOAD of the Real Sessions feat. Guilty Simpson, Phat Kat, Elzhi, Dj Dez & Black Milk.
