NITONIKO - super bonita canciones para cuidar el corazón

This week is as much exciting as it is packed w/ lots of work to do. Sitting here making conference calls, sending emails, lining up various new projects and getting the last details for Friday's Nacotheque I find myself very calm and content. Listening to the sounds of Spanish indie electropop artist NITONIKO and everything feels fine. My heart is full of fluffy little clouds and happy thoughts...

Nitoniko's charming songs will most likely adhere to your brain and become part of your DNA. First in Mexico and now in Spain Nitoniko has published his first album "Selva De Mar". Full of hits as Los Chicos de Ahora, Mecanico Pop, Voy a Ponerme Guapo… including the cover song of the Spanish artist Massiel “Basta de Peleas”.

Take a listen to tons of bonita songs on Nitoniko's soundcloud page and hopefully you'll fall in love as I am right now...

The Welcome Dynasty...rock n' roll in the bathroom stall!

So I'm latenight switching through youtube videos and I come upon a band called The Welcome Dynasty. It starts off with a good beat and looks like it's being filmed from a hidden camera in a club bathroom...Cool.

I keep listening and I'm totally digging the actual song called "Markus" and I'm wondering where are they from? England, America, Sweden, Norway, etc...NOPE! These dudes are from VALENCIA, SPAIN (Where my last name comes from "MENESES").

I hold a lot of AMOR for Spain for many reasons and three of them just so happen to be that 1. I'm part Spanish (mi papa era de España y Mejico) 2. Spaniards know how to party 3. Spaniards know how to rock n' roll all night long...wait, is that just two different ways of saying "they like to party?" Ya, and I thank my mami and my papi for making me part of the Spanish Dolls!!! Gracias Karina y Guillermo Meneses <3

I recommend taking some time to listen to following songs on their Myspace page: Markus, Christine, and Streets Of London.
