How do you say awesome in Spanish?

Mr. Santiago Ferreira (or Santi), born in Paraguay, based in the U.S., released his first full length album Ciclico about three months ago. And although I must admit that most of it may be too latino-tango-ish for my kinda taste, this track is funky as hell.



I don't know any Spanish, but I know this tune is a toda madre -and I hope I didn't just say anything for anyone's mother. Maybe fantástico. Just to be safe.

Who wants cookies'n'cream?

A few minutes ago, I was logging into my soundcloud account and bam! It almost felt like this gem EP was sitting there waitin' for me.



Well, Ed Wizard & Disco Double Dee ain't no news for this blog, so I was well prepared when I saw the name. Good work, nice tunes, perfect beat, great samples (I caught Trussel - I love it somewhere in there), and I already have 2 favorites (Boogie Box sampling Khemistry - I got a feeling and Givin' Ya Up). Can't ask for more. This just made my day, the last 10 minutes before it would end...

*Don't miss it. Out on November 25th.

Ice Ice _ _ _ _ _

This sounds NOTHING like the shitty Monday I just had, but fits prefectly to this very hour, the beloved relax hour, just before the day ends.



Mr. Luke Million seems to have made a really ace sound which is also available for a free download and can make a real party starter.

Check out his page and find your own sounds. There's no way you won't find something you dig in there, from sets, edits, remixes, reposts and stuff.

Soul Monday

Something cozy and full of soul before we head to bed and wake up to kick off a brand new week, which who knows is gonna bring.


Just a little trip to the late '60s, with Arthur Conley's blessed voice and some heavenly horns, sad bass and perfect lead guitar, all in absolute tune with the piano bits.

Great, now I can't sleep...

The Breakbot experience

Since I managed to survive the previous stroke and attend yesterday's party without a heart attack, I might as well tell you a few things about my Breakbot experience.

I 'll be honest: there have been Breakbot sets that have absolutely blown my mind in their full duration, track by track. Yesterday, in The Kids are Alright party, I can say that I got the chills with 3-4 tracks that have never heard before, had minor strokes with 1 or 2 awesome unknown tunes (and the fact that they still remain unknown doesn't help my condition), danced a lot, came face to face with Breakbot -and without realizing it I think I froze and goggled-, but in the end I didn't totally get that "mind blowing" feeling.

I think it's because Breakbot's set was just 1 hour and a half -or a bit longer- and during that time he had to warm up, harsh it up, disco it down, bring back the old skool, play a few hits and close down. Too many things to do, too little time. But to tell you the truth, I don't care. Mind-blowing or not, I had a great time. Breakbot can do that to you, even with the worst one of his sets. And this man's talent of incorporating producing skills into a dj set is just beyond me.

Highlights: The I'm glad that you're here track, Breakbot's intro track (see video below), Michael Jackson's Thriller track with people from the crowd dancing on stage -they should have danced like zombies though, that would be fun- and the whole nostalgic '90s part of the set with Snap, Robin S and stuff.

                                             (ok this actually was more than mind-blowing, I admit it)

 (This is the Thriller track I mentioned, but that's it, sorry. No more videos. I prefer spending the night dancing than recording...)

After Breakbot, Busy P took over. He started off well with a really dirty edit on Imagination's Illusion and a bit of disco mood, but then things got too harsh for my ears, so I didn't stick around much longer. After all, I'm like 100 and if the music can't speak to me, I get tired and hungry.
