My soul has a deep passion for all things groove—reggae, jungle, hip-hop, funk, soul, or any style that gets the feet moving and the head nodding. So, for this mix, I decided it was time for a dive into Latin Funk with some greats—Joe Bataan, Tito Puente, and Ray Barretto, alongside lesser-known artists from the 70s onward.
Bring on the thin-lofi-guitar solos, wah-wah flavours, rollocking percussion, blazing horns, and as much cowbell as you can handle.
