Introducing Systema Solar
Systema Solar are among the latest of the bad ass Colombian bands tirando fuego from their homeland. This musical spitfire is the combination of a whole bunch of genres including cumbia, hip-hop, bullenrengue, champeta, house, techno among others (apparently) which they’ve dubbed “berbenautika”. Adding Afro-Colombian vibes by way of Colombia’s Caribbean coast, you get a [...]
NEW VIDEO: Los Rakas – Abrazame
Panabay duo Los Rakas have debuted the video for their hit “Abrazame”. Check it!
Introducing Los Rakas
I’m old school (read: broke): I have a five-year-old iPod mini which holds only 4G worth of music and each day it holds less and less. My struggle to fit new music means old jams head out the door and I am happily deleting TONS of songs to make way for the equal amount of [...]

Mashup: Bob Marley vs. Nas
So it looks like 2010 might be the year for the mashup. A few weeks ago we had the Beatles/Wu-Tang mashup album and now we have the Bob Marley/Nas mashup appropriately titled Relatives Abroad. Relatives Abroad was conceptualized by FreshNerd of 100 Akres Productions and combines samples from Bob Marley’s Uprising album with various Nas [...]

Shut it Down – Pitbull ft Akon
So here’s an interesting take on reggeaton. The genre painfully sounds the same from song to song but then, you have artists like Pitbull who mix it up and bring reggeaton flava to the mainstream music scene. In collaboration with Akon and prod by DJ Clinton Sparks and DJ Snake, Pitbull’s new song “Shut it [...]
Come Over – Estelle ft. Sean Paul
This track was sent over from our friends at iMergeAndSee. It is the latest Estelle track with guest vocals by Sean Paul. The jam has a nice dub/reggae sound that is just ever-so-grooving. Estelle’s vocals are beautifully placed in the mix (and beautiful to begin with) with Sean Paul doing his typical rhymes. This track [...]
New Remix: Selena Serano – The One Remix
Got a delicious R&B track for you all courtesy of IMergeAndSee. Selena Serrano is the artist and the song is called One (The remix). The original track is a nice reggae jam that should be enjoyed with a spliff in one hand and a red stripe in an other, the remix on the other hand [...]
