In celebration of the Jazz pioneer's 100th birthday this week, the UK producer put out a two hour mix dedicated to the artist during his NTS Radio show.

The mix is nothing but the music of Sun Ra himself- a fitting tribute and a proper introduction for those unfamiliar with the legend.

For more on Sun Ra, here is an essential list of his albums, written by Mr. Beatnik himself for FACT magazine.

The session can be streamed below.
