LAT’10

Wednesday: December 23, 2009 Posted: Darien Victor Birks Category: Mix 17 Comments

Front Cover
Cover Art: Max Vogel aka Razauno (More on the artist below the tracklist)

After a loooooong strenuous (yet enjoyable) digging process, I present you with my latest creation, LAT’10. I came up with the title based on two simple components, LATIN + 2010. It’s only right, the music is completely latin (including mpb, bossa nova, samba, salsa, latin jazz, latin funk, latin soul, latin rock, etc), and this mix is going to bring in the new year, 2010…so when you put the two together, you get LAT’10, simple but it works. So push 2009 waaaaaaay behind you (it was probably the wackest year ever!), and kick 2010 off the right way, with good people, good music…and good times! Enjoy…

Cover Art Feature: Max Vogel aka Razauno

The cover art was done by a friend of mine, an AMAZING designer/illustrator/typographer by the name of Max Vogel, also known as Razauno. Not only does he create some of the best art and design work that’s out there, but he’s also a TRUE lover of music, so when he offered to design a cover for the LAT’10 mix, the answer was “YES” without a doubt. I am super pleased with the results by the way!

You can check out his work on his website at razauno.com, he can also be found discussing and sharing cool stuff on his blogs at blog.razauno.com and 12ozprophet.com. Go check him out!

ECLECTIC CLASH

Eclectic Clash Cover

SoulBounce.com is one of my favorite music sites on the web, PERIOD. So when they reached out to me to be a part of their “Mixologists” series, I responded to them with an instant “YES!”. So I created a mix especially for them and the thousands of viewers that follow their amazing site. The music is comprised of r&b soul, nu-soul, brazilian house, deep soulful house, and some electronic grooves as well. I hope they enjoyed it, I hope YOU enjoy it…

The Message
I started constructing this mix on the night of September 11th, and finished this morning, September 13th (hence the title). There’s really no concept to this one (hence the anonymous black hooded cover), I just had some random music that I wanted to share with my readers/viewers. I hope you all enjoy…
