A preview of the new Alex Cortiz compilation Magnifico! volume 2, the follow up of the succesfull Magnifico! (2005). This is a mix of cd 1: a new selection of my tracks. Not beat-mixed ofcourse; I want to preserve the specific mood (and so tempo) of each track as it is. Cd 2 (bonus tracks) contains 14 previously unreleased  tracks, in most cases brand new.
Available on iTunes and all other major download stores from the 17th of january 2014.


Preview Magnifico! volume 2  cd 1(a new compilation of my finest tracks)

From 1998 onwards Alex Cortiz has produced more than 30 albums of deep vibin’ grooves with elements of chill out, nu jazz, cinematic dub, soulful blaxploitation and chilled- and deep house. 
He became one of the leading producers in groovy relax and funky chill out. Often he has been linked to Kruder & Dorfmeister, Air, Nor Elle, Audio Lotion, Dj Cam, Session Victim, Zap, Dazz, Ron Basejam, Solee and lately Nils Frahm.

To dig a bit deeper into the musical carreer of Alex Cortiz... His roots in international dance music go back to 1990, when he produced one of the first worldwide techno club hits as D-Shake with Yaaah / Technotrance. After that he was succesful with a.o. Paradise 3001 (ambient techno) and Flygang (disco) And then, after that… producer / dj Alex Cortiz took over.

Global music lover. No genres that I stick with exclusively, I listen to what I like without exception. 

Prime areas of interest as follows but I don’t limit myself like I sometimes did in my youth. It's whatever hooks my ear these days, it’s all good. 

Lounge, chilled electronic. soulful house & garage, deep house, Jazzy House but overall and in any genre, I'm always seeking creative mix's with good track selections captured (a crucial aspect to this guy) 

Other likes are Hip-Hop & Jazz Fusions, 70's rare groove, D&B, reggae, dub & lovers and many others per my musical & life open-mindedness.
 
I'm really into any DJ's or Artist that can take me on a musical journey, hold the vibe throughout the mix/their work, that's what my favorite DJ's, Artists as well as life-memorable nights have all been made of so, these ears are always eager for more of the same.

Keep your musical faith music lovers & creators, forward people, one life, one love...music
