La Ola De Calor - Blogariddims 23 (MP3)

A pinch of latin flavor heats up this badass set from the UK's Heatwave DJs (La Ola de Calor). And don't worry it is not a Reggaeton only mix! That seems to be the fatal flaw to most reggaeton/dancehall DJs. Last time I was in Puerto Rico it was great to hear all kinds of Reggaeton pumping out of every store, car, bar, etc. But then on Day 5 it started to take on the form of torture! Every song has the exact same "bum badum bup" beat! Well this is NOT the case in this dope mix. Heatwave takes us all around the latin reggae landscape with cuts from Ini Kamoze en espanol to the definition of contemporary Reggaeton Pitbull. A must listen!

Genres: dancehall, latin, reggae, reggaeton

Grant Phabao & Djouls - Latin Madness (MP3)

When you see a mix labelled as Afro-Latin there are only two possibilites - snooze-core, massage parlor background noise or killer latin icing on top of a afro-beat funk cake. Lucky for us the latter is the case with this super-cool mix. It's like the Latin Kings put out a hit on my ass! The Paris Djs step out with another killer selection, and be certain to click thru to the source for some sweet album art made up by Djouls.

Genres: broken beat, funk, jazz, latin
