"DJing in London is always a great time because I like to create a contemporary dialogue with the audience but also root it in vast history of the many sub-genres that makes London super unique," Abloh said of the mix, which you should definitely spend an hour with via the SoundCloud embed below:

Abloh understandably also slid in a bit from his recent Boys Noize collaborative EP Orvnge. The three-track project, released last month, was written and recorded in Berlin and marks Abloh's first proper music entry as a producer. Of course, the Abloh touch has been all over both the music and fashion industries in other ways for the better part of a decade now.

"Kanye was the guy when it was completely unpopular that said, 'I am not to be typecast into a box,' like, he willed it for us," Abloh, who rose to prominence as a frequent Kanye West collaborator before later becoming Louis Vuitton's artistic director of men's wear, told British Vogueback in June. "Go back, he was like, 'We're going to Fashion Week,' this place where we can't get in. That dream is his just as much as it's mine. In my dream, it was him down the runway."

After you get through Abloh's one-hour Solid Steel mix above, maybe give his recent MOSH PITS ONLY set at Sony Hall in New York City a spin:
