James Blake hosted his final BBC Radio 1 Residency tonight, and over the course of the evening he played several collaborations, from Bing Crosby & David Bowie to The Vanguard & D’Angelo to Stevie Wonder & Take 6. (“I’m probably his biggest fan,” Blake said before playing D’Angelo’s “1000 Deaths”. “Everyone should listen to his new record.”) He also played music from Kanye West, Mavado, and Airhead, and ended with some Christmas music from Nat King Cole, Ray Charles, and Art Garfunkel.
Going forward, BBC will welcome a new set of Radio 1 DJs, including Flying Lotus (January 15) and Jon Hopkins (January 22).
Listen to the entire mix here, via the BBC.
