Tsuba celebrates 5 years with a special two-part EP, the first of which sees some of the label's finest output reworked by Sebo K, Art Department and Arto Mwambe as well as an exclusive collaboration between Tsuba alumni Hector and Okain.
In a series of quick fire interviews Tsuba caught up with the artists & remixers involved in the project. First up, we talk to Art Department:
