Greetings,

So this one I had crafted to record live at a BBQ here in “sunny” Florida a few weeks ago, but that didn’t happen because a storm was passing by and people panicked, and then there were three of us, so it didn’t happen! Nevertheless, the word was out that it was going to be recorded and I was being asked about it so on a rainy day last weekend, I got her done.

Continuing with the Latin flavors here... I cannot remember when the last Mojito was published but it has to be several years now. I had recorded a Brazilian affair a little while ago but don’t believe I published that, maybe I’ll put that up as a side distraction now that Rio is happening. Let me know what to do.

I’ve had this building for a minute but as always, I have too many “buckets” going on and can never seem to settle on a concept. I had to force this out as the Afro/Latin rhythms seem to be coming at us left right and center so the track list kept changing. I must admit that the plan was to go hard in the middle, but that changed with some key new releases so I had to remove the Luciano and Michel Cleis that were taking the center stage/peak.

You all know I love the drum, and I’ve really pushed it center stage here. As you might be able to imagine, blending such complex rhythms is difficult when both tracks come hard so I tried to focus on making the transition as interesting as possible without cluttering the sound. As you also know, I consider the transition/cross over to be a track in its own right so I particularly enjoy creating something in between that should be able to stand on its own. The cross-overs here are not too long but in some instances I was kind of forced to make them elaborate to allow the tracks to maintain their own identity and intent. I believe musicians construct their tracks deliberately so who am I to shortchange their sound eh? In some cases though, I was able to find a convenient loop half way through to chop.

Anyway, onward, track list:

1. Christian Vinci – Son Sol
2. Pepe Citarella, Isidro Infante & Luisito Quintero– Celia y Tito
3. Hector Lavoe – Aguanile RMX
4. Manoo, Alex Finkin, Louie Vega & Jose Mangual Jr. – Soy Latino RMX
5. Pablo Fierro & Justin Imperiale – La Libertad RMX
6. Pablo Fierro – Herencia Latino
7. Southern Groove – Sufre y Vive
8. Novalima - Beto Kele RMX
9. Buyepongo – Maestros RMX
10. Southern Groove & FNX – Candela RMX
11. Myles Bigelow & Toto Berriel – Los Ojos RMX
12. Nicodemus & Sammy Ayala – Conmigo RMX
13. Christina Vinci – Habana Vieja
14. Pablo Fierro – Solos Tu y Yo RMX
15. Ezel & Tamara Wellons – Girl From Ipanema RMX

REMIX CREDITS: Jose Marquez (3, 8, 9), Justin Imperiale (5, 14, 15), Hallex M (11, 12), Louie Vega (4), FNX (10).

So there you have it, something that should have come out at the beginning of summer, will instead extend your summer vibe.

Many thanks for stopping by and giving this a listen. Please take a second and let me know what you thought. And your thoughts for Belize please. We got hit hard.

Blessed LOVE.

Favorite track: Southern Groove – Sufre y Vive

Oh, and be warned, channel 2 was a little sticky and I had to mess with it a couple times, but decided to trod on.

One of this year's confirmed Grand Marshals is 4 time nominated and Grammy Award winning DJ, producer, songwriter and composer Louie Vega (Masters at Work, Elements of Life). For over two decades, Vega has influenced dance music, and the music world in general. He has worked with artists like Michael Jackson, Madonna, Tito Puente, Black Eyes Peas, and more.   “After years in the studio, clubs and DJing what makes my heart beat on the floor is when I see live and in front the reactions of people when they are dancing,” says Vega.   When Chauncey created AUDIO DANCE PARADE two years ago, to keep the excitement and love of dance music alive, he had no idea he would be one day publishing a podcast mixed by one of the legendary, 'kings of house' LOUIE VEGA!

The only track missing would be Jask feat. Jocie's Beautiful, but i dont have it so... there, and I would have had to speeded it up too much anyway.

I was going to try to keep it to cd length, but just could'nt stop. When Diamond Life came to pass, decided it was a good note to stop on.

Hope you all enjoy this edition of the Producer Series, I've been wanting to do this one for a while. And I know there's a RAS remix in there, but thats the best remix of that track by far, so it had to go in.

May try a DJ Spinna one next, but his epic 10 minute remixes might piss everyone off, so I'm not sure about it. If you have a suggestions, please let me know.
