So.... guys.... remember this blog we started? Well, I am going to try to start throwing more posts up here. Plus, remember how great you all are? I mean, you guys are like the best there ever was, and this public forum gives us a voice to share our awesomeness from afar. You guys know soooo much about music, but I don't see you posting..... What's up with that? Its not like I can read Wire and pretend like they are my friends, but you guys are my friends, and I want to read about what you like.
Gushing aside, this post is simply a posting to put up a new link. Erik and I both snagged the Tropical Discotheque 12"s in 2008, and the Sofrito group are back with some more latin disco edit gold. I walked into my local haunt and saw this one on the wall.
Another smash hit 12", a summer scorcher that I will toast as a winter dancefloor Afro oasis for my livingroom. After listening to it a few times, I checked out their website and low and behold, it is filled to the brim with spectacular mixes of just this kind of funkytropicaldancespecials, links to other tropical websites, and even pictures of people having a good tropical time. Oh, and the best part is that they post TRACK LISTINGS! So, next time you are in Nigeria, you will know exactly what you are looking for. I'm sure Erik would have posted this, but didn't want to offend us by posting something we all of course knew about and relished, but I just got the tip on it this afternoon. So I've spent the afternoon listening to Sofrito mixes and drinking mango smoothies as summer slowly fades to fall here in Philadelphia. One things is for sure, and that is that these mixes will make me the hit of tomorrow's regional Puerto Rican Day parade.
