San Francisco veteran producers and champions of sound Romanowski and DJ Smash team up with NYCT’s Midnight Lab Band to a deliver a killer double-sided dose of Studio 2 versions. Originally released on Romanowski’s appropriately titled LP, The Return Of Steady Rocking: Romanowski & Friends, these two exclusive mixes take the skanking original in two divergent directions. When Romanowski meets DJ Smash, the drums collide at maximum force with a classic boom-bap downtempo beat echoing the heyday of the acid jazz era these two heavyweights helped invent. When Romanowski meets Midnight Lab Band, the beat floats into MLB's comfort zone of drum machine-fueled space age hypnosis. Pressed on opaque white vinyl and housed in an exquisite premium package illustrated by cartoonist Gideon Virgadamo, the single is a perfect capsule of the crew’s unique vibes and personality.

The third installment of our storm-mix series recorded while watching the blizzard roar outside of our little love box. 

The series first began with "Magic Corner" in 2011 when NYC shut down in anticipation of Hurricane Irene. We decided to record a follow up mix during the next city-wide shutdown due to Super Storm Sandy during which we recorded "This Is the Place." You can thank the Blizzard of 2016 for this one. Hope you enjoy! xo, Nydia and Sami

"Love Box" by Sami Dariush & Nydia Ines

Another volume dedicated to the golden period of contemporary Cape Verdian music of the diaspora, when a young generation of musicians spread across the cities of Rotterdam, Lisbon, Paris and Boston revisited the (until then) neglected rural musical roots of their land and by doing so, set a new standard of how Cape Verdian would sound like for the next generations. 
The focus on this second effort is on the synthesizer, an immensely popular instrument at that time, that they ended up using in an unprecedented way. 
Enjoy and share! 
All tracks selected from original vinyl records.

Japanese City Pop by Ed Motta for Wax Poetics

New York City is home to a diverse community of Colombian musicians and groups who create in a wide range of traditional, popular and experimental music styles for diasporic communities and beyond. Colombia in NYC takes us from independence day celebrations in a chic Manhattan club with accordion virtuoso Gregorio Uribe, to vallenato parties and outdoor festivals. We'll hear from experimental groups Combo Chimbita and Delsonido; traditional Afro-Colombian bullerengue group Bulla En El Barrio; salsero, folklorist and educator Pablo Mayor; innovative dance bands MAKU Soundsystem and Grupo Rebolú, harp virtuoso Edmar Castañeda and many more amazing musicians. Along the way, musicians weave in stories about nationalism, identity, place and diaspora, and discuss the challenges and opportunities New York City offers for Colombian musicians.
