In a modern twist to un clasico navideño, Carolina Lao and Fito Blanko really bring Christmas to life, With “Si No Me Dan De Beber.” The mix between the urban drums on a Merengue beat, and the accordions of a Cumbia really energizes this track and is definitely a must-play for my Christmas party DJ set this year. “Si No Me Dan De Beber” - produced by Julio Bague and Sensei Musica (click here for the recent interview)- really has the potential to become a hip new Christmas anthem similar … [Read more...]

Tonight I introduce you to an indie hip-hop artist from Monterrey, Mexico, who goes by the name of Milkman. Not only a rapper, it was actually Milkman's production skills that caught the eye of Mexican super-producer Toy Selectah in 2004, motivating Toy to invite Milkman to Monterrey to work with the production team Sones del Mexside. This turned out to be an opportunity of a lifetime, as the team has since worked with such high-profile names as Juanes, M.I.A., and RBD. While Milkman has … [Read more...]
