Track of the day - Ecoute!

Heard the song Ecoute mixed by Carmen Rizzo this morning, really like it.

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. 

Music recommendation - Booka Shade / DJ Kicks

If you've never heard of Booka Shade I highly recommend picking up their album Movements. DJ Kicks has remixed everyone from Thievery Corporation to Bjork and on this album DJ Kicks and Booka Shade produced some great tracks. My favorites are the remix of The Streets It's Too Late, Quarion - Karasu and Booka Shade's Numbers which you can play a sample of here.

Federico Aubele - Panamericana

Federico Aubele has a new album out called Panamericana put out by Eighteenth Street Lounge which is one of my favorite downtempo, trip hop labels. They are in New York City as well. I'm still getting accustomed to it but at first pass my favorite track from the album is La Esquina. The album is what I would refer to as electro tango, with a mix of beats, electronic arrangements, and a little bolero thrown in. There's not much else out there like it.
