Locura Boliviana

From the treasure troves over at Avalanche Tropical comes a catchy one. Miss Bolivia is the new project of Paz Ferreira with one of the members of Villa Diamante.

Avalanche Tropical is playing a show tomorrow with Diplo, I'm hoping to catch them. I promise, more samba tomorrow.

I've been sitting on these for a while and realized they deserved some attention, a few deep house grooves that I really like. This is inspired because I've lately really been digging Italian house-legend Riva Starr's remix of Manu Chao's Clandestino. Check it below.

Clandestino (Riva Starr Remix) - Manu Chao


Coupled with the original, Clandestino - Manu Chao


And a couple of other tracks, some of which I pulled from Riva Starr's essential mix and some of which I just stumbled upon somehow somewhere.

Ostalgia - Frivolous


Psalm - Style of Eye


In Nightclubs (Camel Remix) - Malente & Dex


And the fantastic Adam Port.

Symphony (Original Mix) - Adam Port


The American Dream - Adam Port

Bob Marley Remixes

Like remixes of the Beatles, I am usually very suspecting of remixes of Bob Marley - there are somethings that really just shouldn't be touched. However, I was reminded that there are always exceptions to the rule when I was listening today to Logik's dubstep remix of Is This Love?, which does a fantastic job of keeping the original feel while laying down a suuper chill bassline underneath. It's my favorite of any Bob Marley Remixes that I've heard.

Is This Love (Logik Dubstep Remix)


I'm a little sad this second one hasn't been released yet, Wolfgang did a remix of Sun is Shining that just killed the dancefloor at Ultra. Actually, he released a copy without the Sun is Shining vocals but where's the fun in that?

And I just found this one today, it's a more dubby interpretation of Is This Love. Check it.
