Pepsi Max have teamed up with Noisey to challenge some seriously creative musicians to graft the ultimate in summer city soundtracks – with just 48 hours to do so.
In the third and final installment of the series (just released today), producer Slick Shoota, is on a mission to capture Oslo’s sound of the summer in a mixtape created during Norway’s Oya festival, the results of which he’ll debut at an Oya festival after party.
Enlisting the help of a host of Norweigan talent and guest artists (such as, Drippin’, Purrpurr Purple, and Boska), Slick Shoota’s studio becomes a creative hub, as he harnesses Oya’s musical energy to create 7 original tracks before we see the culmination of all his efforts shared at a banging Oya after party.
