                               Highsnobiety Mixtape #14 | Khalil (Livin’ Proof)
                               By Maude Churchill in Highsnobiety Mixtape              Mar 10, 2015

                               Our 14th Highsnobiety Mixtape is headed by London’s DJ Khalil. As the director of the
                               city’s most flourishing hip-hop night, Livin’ Proof, it goes without saying DJ Khalil has an
                               encyclopedic knowledge of hip hop, both old and new. Born in 2007, Livin’ Proof is a DJ
                               collective consisting of DJ Khalil and three others, all who are at the forefront of the hip-
                               hop scene in the English capital, and the first to bring acts such as A$AP Rocky and
                               Danny Brown to the UK. In addition, they’ve hosted nights with the likes of Hudson
                               Mohawke, Flatbush Zombies, Action Bronson, Jay Electronica, Frank Ocean and plenty
                               more.

                               With that in mind, DJ Khalil’s mix manages to stay a step above other hip-hop mixes, as
                               he fleshes out a weightier mix by including genres and tracks notably deriving
