I just wrapped up my first mix for 2007 and it's "so me"... smooth and chilled out! This mix is very jazzy and has a mixture of styles but there is definitely an underlying latin influence to it. There are plenty of sax's, funky bass lines, smoothed out rhodes... you know the deal. There are also house, disco, and funk influences in it too. This is definitely a lounge experience!
I really love the fusion of styles and this is the kind of stuff that I actively seek out. Not just the music, but, clubs and DJ's that play it. It's getting a lot harder to find it in Orlando, so if you have any recomendations, by all means let me know.
Download the mix and pop it in on the way to work tomorrow. It's guarenteed to get you tapping your hands and feet and will certainly put a smile on your face! Better yet, download it tonight, pour yourself a martini, grab your girl (or your man), bust out some of your best latin dancing and get those hips gyrating and your juices flowing!
Here is the track list...
01. Ohm Guru- Hotel Capri (Cybophonia mix)
02. Stealth Band- Inner City Life
03. Roy Ayers- Sugar (Joey Negro Mix)
04. Karminsky Experience- Belly Disco (Beatfantastic Mix)
05. Kevin Yost- Ever After You
06 Thievery Corporation- The Heart's a Lonely Hunter (Louie Vega Mix)
09. Thunderball- The Road to Benares (Bombay Dub Orchestra Mix)

I hope you enjoy,

Podcast Summary
Join me on a journey in to the chilled out worlds of Lounge, NuJazz, Downtempo, Chillout, House, and Latin Rhythm music.
This Podcast is intended to be a monthly show in which I will explore all things jazzy, funky, and chilled out!
SO WHY LISTEN? I love Electronica. I seek out House, Progressive, and Breaks BUT, sometimes your ears have just had enough!
Sometimes you need something a little less synthetic. Sometimes you need to just throw something on that is positive and relaxing, something to create a vibe, no, A MOOD.
My sets are a good choice when you need to create a colorful backround for great conversation with friends during cocktails or dinner. They are also great to throw on when you just need to chill, catch up on some reading, or have a nice nap.
This is not Ambient, you need ryhthm, but not in your face. Its jazzy, its smooth, heck, it can even be progressive. But, I will never take you too deep and I will never create anything but POSITIVE VIBES.
I have been an off and on musician for years and I have recently started Digital DJ'ing.
Once upon a time I had dreams of being a profesional Electronic musician but, with time and age, that faded. I have moved away from the music business and am very happy with my career in Information Technology. I have recently started producing music and mixing again, but this time around, I am doing it for enjoyment, not profit.
