MISTICO TROPICAL

I haven't done a serious mix in a while and somehow it ended up being a blend of melancholy blues, swing and heaps of tropical courtesy of some of my favourite producers at the moment. 

The last time I did a mix I was still using vinyl so I wanted to experiment with sorting one out entirely digitally. It's not as easy as it should be...mostly just difficult keeping the quality up after having had to rerecord MP3s at altered tempos for the mixes. If any of the artists featured in the mix feel like sending me full wavs or aifs of their tunes then I'd be delighted to slot them back in at higher quality. Here's the tracklist.


Kinka - Totala Dub
Palov & Panama Cardoon – Basmati Rice
Kazamatsuri Kenta – Alasca
Muddy Waters feat Automato – Walk into the Blues (Grant Lazlo Rmx)
Monetrik - Blues Soup (Due for release on Freshly Squeezed on 17th Feb 2013)
Grant Lazlo – Une Histoire de Photo
Palov meets Ang Angelides – Movin Next Door
Los Chicos Altos – Palenque Barcelona
Dynamite MC – Shake (Senor Griff’s sambaragga rmx)
Coco Raizes de Arcoverde  - Galinha zabele (Dos Melo edit)
Manjah – Oriente Patria
Ella & Duke – Caravan (Grant Lazlo rmx)
Sidestepper – San Juan (Dos Melo Edit)
Monetrik – Juge m Bien
Whiskey Barons – Comencemos
Jazzy Jens – Guarapera
Pinduca – Vamos Farrear (Senor Griff rmx)
Minimatic – The Medellin Bopper
Voodoocuts - Lupita 
Nu Mark – Oya Indebure
Unknown – La Guadaloupe moin river (Frankie Francis Edit)
Manu Chao – Clandestino
Roberto Carlos - O Calhambeque (XRS Remix)
