MIXTAPE: Los Transatlánticos First Trip Mix
A few months ago, I introduced you to this exciting new transcontinental, multiculti band, aptly named Los Transatlánticos. Combining the best of Colombian ñu-cumbia with European global bass and Middle Eastern sounds, Los Transatlánticos easily became the best new band of 2012.
Well, back then when I wrote that first post about their debut, the album wasn’t available yet. Now it’s available on . So, in case you’re still undecided about purchasing it, here’s a free 30 minute mix put together by the artists themselves (I assume it was Croatian-by-the-way-of-Berlin producer Tricky D who did the mixing) with the best moments of that album.
It’s a simple mixtape. There’re no surprises, no exclusive remixes or new unreleased tracks. So if you already have Los Transatlánticos’ First Trip, you can totally skip this mixtape. But honestly, I don’t think enough of you have it and that’s why I’m sharing it here. This truly is one of my favorite albums of 2012 and I don’t hear enough DJ’s out there spinning it. I’m trying to change that.
