DJ-Set from Nomaden 2 (2nd hour) by JayStarSeven

Louie Ramirez - Barrio Nuevo

I'm quite a lot...a sort of 'periodic' when it comes to my music consumption. Occassionally i get the crawings for certain musical styles. Obviously, at least according to my own mind, with a stringency that relates to anything soulful and qualitative. Practically this means I've got some latin records laying about. I do play them at the right occassions, and they usually never fail to rock the party. This is one of those tracks, actually a bomb on any discerning dancefloor. Louie Ramirez - 'Barrio Nuevo' from the 'A different shade of black LP on Cotique, which I believe was an offshot from the Fania label at the time. Enjoy!

Tropical Treats

Rickard Masip from Tropical Treats/Raw Fusion and Recordmania has kindly shared this really cool mix. Within certain circles he's a well known connoissuer of all things rare and funky. Recently back from digging in Colombia.
I've had the pleasure to hear him dj a few times, and he's a class selector as this mix also proves. Here you get to hear a great selection of funky latin & caribbean sounds, some heavy african & reggae tunes.
You need to check out yourself, I guarantee there isn't much you've heard before. Personally I think this is the kind of sh-t I wanna hear on a nice sunny day. Or in a dark, sweaty basement for that matter. Enjoy!

Shades of Soul

Check this site out! If you got the slightest interest in vintage dance music, you need to go there.
There's loads of live footage, interviews etc. It's all about the soul and related. I watched some of the latin bits; Tito Puente, Willie Colón etc. Yes, we're talking proper Bogaloo! There's also some stuff on Max Roach, Rahsaan Roland Kirk and other soul artists.Unfortunately It's not possible to embed any stuff, but you find it here.

If you got funk, you got style

A god day is to have som spare time to check through some records. And if the mood is fine, even try to get together a mix. So here you go!
Starting out with a nice 7" from Earth, Wind & Fire and no idea where it would end up. A very random mix, new and old, hopefully with some stringency. Touching some brasilian, latin, jazz, funk & house bits. Specially feeling the Billy Bang track from the Live at Carlos 1 LP. Obviously Percy Faith on Freddie Hubbard's First Light - très cool, from the Corazón LP. Enjoy!
