Djnyc Funk n' Soul, nyc dj: Samba

This blog will include recommendations for some of my favorite music from all over the world including funk, soul, reggae, latin soul, salsa, merengue, trip hop and electro jazz. I'm always picking through compilations, stacks of records, collections etc trying to find those gems that I want to share with others when djing in New York City or wherever. There is so much amazing music out there I figured it would be nice to create a guide without any outside influence. Like most people I want to find that one place that always makes great recommendations (like KCRW). I'd love to hear from other djs, music aficionados, etc. in the New York City Area.

DJ Toni Rios - From Brazil to Berlin Compilation

This is a good compilation, I like the first five tracks and one of my favorites is Rosalia de Souza's Mais which is the first track on it. Towards the middle and end of the compilation it gets a little too electronic/ abstract for my taste, although I do love the Field's album in addition to Booka Shade which many have told me is too repetitive for them.
