Thank you 2010! Now bring on 2011. I can't wait!

2010 was a very interesting year with lots of fun to be had. Just a quick overview of my year...

Mezclasonic tour w/ Camilo Lara (M.I.S.), Marcelo, Javier Romero, and the kids of D'Marquesina. The tour lasted a whole year bringing us to Chicago, Miami, NY, and LA. We had a lot of fun!

PARKED and Oktoberfest @ Governors Island w/ MeanRed Productions in Sept and Oct. These two massive events had thousands in attendance and a whole lot of organized chaos. I had a blast working on these projects even though it took a week to recover from each of these large scale events!

Remezcla Musica launch party @ Broadway East. This was an amazing production w/ Remezcla.com and some of the best up and coming Latin alternative performers. Nina Dioz, Zuzuka Poderosa, Sunsplash, and some great Djs as well. I wanted this production to go extra well and I think everyone was very happy.

CMJ Blood n' Bones international showcase @ Fontana's. This was a personal project I created during CMJ and it turned out to be a great success! The line up was a melting pot of international bands Hard Nips from Japan, Outernational from NY, R-Tronika from all over, and Les Handclaps from Montreal. I got to even sing the song "Barbarella Pop Club" I wrote in Spanish w/ Les Handclaps!!

There are so many other awesome projects and events I worked on this past year that I can't even list them all, but I'd like to say THANK YOU to everyone!!

I welcome 2011 with open arms and look forward to many more awesome things to come. I'm ringing in my new year with MeanRed Productions and The Rub @ Public Assembly. Should be a grand fiesta w/ lots of dancing and craziness....

MUSIC VIDEO: Powerpop princesa Denise Murz "Cuánto?"

I've been following the lovely powerpop princesa from Argentina Denise Murz for at least two years now. She's collaborated w/ a favorite of mine; the famous travesti La Prohibida from Spain. Her tracks are fun, sexy, and glitter w/ studio 54-style beats.

I included her song "Pretenciosa" in my Chula Pop Crush DJ mix a while back. You can hear more of her songs on her website and watch her new music video for the song "Cuánto?". In the 2008 Denise debuted her full ablum “Pretenciosa”.

Shhh, there's talks that she's coming to NYC soon;-)

LAST DAY TO VOTE FOR ZUZUKA PODEROSA on MTV IGGY's 'Artist of the Week'!

I first discovered Zuzuka back in 2006 when I bought the Nossa Records compilation at Lower East Side store The Reed Space. I automatically fell in love w/ her song “Ai Voce Gosta” and have been following her music career ever since.

I'm happy I've been able to work w/ her on various events including Nacotheque, the Remezcla Musica launch party, and Que Bajo?!

She's a snazzy dresser, an energetic pixie w/ tons of life, an awesome live performer.

If you haven't already please vote for Zuzuka Poderosa TODAY on the MTV Iggy show!!

ZP grew up loving the raw Miami bass-inspired dance music Brazil calls funk and started throwing reggae and funk parties with members of the Nossa Crew when she moved to New York ten years ago. Eventually, the emcee and DJ started chatting in Portuguese on the mic and in studio — to the immediate and visceral delight of everyone within ear shot. She tells her origin story in greater detail in this great video interview.

Not only is she bringing her own brand of the hot Brazilian underground sound to the rest of the world, but from her international vantage point she operates like a provocatively rhyming hurricane, sucking up global riddims from ghettotech to dancehall and flinging them back out at gale-force speeds.

The funk Carioca spitfire regularly works and performs with cutting-edge DJs, rappers, and funk heavyweights on both sides of the equator. She recently did a guest turn on Iggy fave Sub Swara’s new album Triggers.

We predict that she is going to be very much in demand worldwide within the next twelve months.

The sultry vocalist is a must-hear for anyone who loves Maluca, feels the pain of Bonde do Rolé’s recent quiet, and who can’t wait for Marina Gasolina’s solo debut.

Zuzuka is currently working on her debut album and aims to make it an international affair with many producers in the mix. Maybe she’ll team up with Ms. Gasolina for a track or two! Dream collab!

Taste the funk in the video for her Eurythmics-sampling track “Ai Voce Gosta”:

We had fun...a LOT of fun. Normally people say "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas", but I think it depends on how you tell the story. Just see this DJ mix as me whispering in your ear a little secret of what happened. Close your eyes and enjoy the music;-)
