One of my goals for 2023 was to make at least one mix a month, a different genre each time, and then make those available as a cassette for whoever wanted one. Well, I cut it close, as today is January 31st, but Mix 1 of 12 is done. To kick off the year I decided to make an mix that was all post punk and goth rock, all in Spanish (except for one song, which is still sung by hispanohablantes). It's high energy yet gloomy (whatup El Suicidio) and I'm really happy with it. If you'd like a copy on cassette, write me on IG: @amoresnyc  
Tracklist available on the cassette :)

Angeles De La Noche - Post-Punk y Goth Rock en Español

Nothing like a shedding a few tropical tears to shake off the heartbreak.

Cumbias Para Corazones Rotos

I was tapped to provide music for the opening night of Esteban Cabeza De Baca’s “Alma” opening night at Garth Greenan Gallery in NYC. Based on both Esteban’s art and the similarities we share in our backgrounds I built a mix planted in Cumbia that speaks largely to the shared experiences of Latin American immigrants, but is interwoven with sounds from distant countries as a reminder of how connected we can be by our dreams, aspirations and struggles. There are a few tracks by indigenous creators and with indigenous sounds, as a reminder not just of where so much of our strength is rooted, but the people themselves who remain marginalized, persecuted and erased.

Northern Soul, while based on an American sound, was a dance and cultural movement that happened in the working class towns of the North of England in the 1960s. Raucous, jubilant and joyful, the movement was fueled by DJs who were constantly fighting to unearth new and rare tracks to edge themselves over the competition. I put together this mix on a bit of a whim, as I almost never play this sound out when I'm DJing, but it was a lot of fun to make.

A small snippet of my set from the Royalton Rooftop Lounge in NYC.

Live from Royalton Park Ave Rooftop Lounge | 09/02/23

I was tapped to provide the soundtrack for Talea Beer Co's opening celebration of their West Village Tap Room. The party is a modern take on the"snugs" of prohibition era where women had their own designated seating era, so the mix is mostly female vocals and reflects the feel of 20s/30s jazz with modern affectations in the forms of big brassy covers and a couple of custom mashups by me. 

The mashups were made ahead of time, and the mix was recorded in two takes (one for each hour).

Love is Hard 🎲🎲

Just a little practice on a chilly March night

Cumbia en Casita

SG Studio 1

Recorded live during one of my resident nights at Recreation,  The venue is a very casual spot inside the Moxy Hotel's lower Manhattan location and is open to the public which means a diverse, fairly mainstream and transient crowd. No two nights are the same, so I have a lot of fun just showing up and seeing where I can go with everything.

Live From Recreation June 07 2025

Zero recollection of making this, but I COOKED
