Dont do it in London mixtape1: The Broken Hookers


The first of what i hope will be a running series of guest mixes, we proudly present the Broken Hookers for our first installment of the Dont Do It mixtapes.

The Broken Hookers hail from Middlesborough, have held residencies for Club NME, Polaroid and are responsible for the ArePeopleReal podcast series which runs bi-weekly on thursdays. Previous guests include, Kissy Sellout, Yuksek, Duke Dumont, Hannah Holland, Matt Walsh, Curses!, Midfield General and this week's guest is none other than Joe and Will Ask. To subscribe to the ArePeopleReal podcast simply go to: www.myspace.com/arepeoplereal

They have also been working hard in the studio producing a couple of funky tunes. Dig This is a piano based groover whilst Get People is more of a laid back slower affair. These are the first two in a line of tracks that they have been working on. I suggest you head over to their myspace and check it out... BIG TUNES.


It is hard to pin the mix down to any genre of music but the result is brilliant to say the least, funky and eclectic. The selection of songs is that of a duo who know what they like as opposed to what is dictated to them on blogs. Forget heavy basslines and ridiculous remixes, they have opted for style and substance.
