If you’ve somehow managed to let the viral hit “Delicia Tchu Tcha Tcha” pass you by, prepare for a Latino Dance mix which definitely isn’t easily forgotten. Mike Moonnight has become renowned for his infectiously energetic hits created by fusing elements of Reggaeton, Latin, and Brazilian. Yet their 2018 hit Delicia Tchu Tcha Tcha has made international waves.

Delicia Tchu Tcha Tcha is a high-octane, highly danceable mix. But thanks to its earworm potential, it’s a track your synapses will crave day or night. The Trance beats sit in a bed of warm, vibrant, intensely rhythmic Reggaeton which will definitely appeal to your own rhythmic pulses.

Latino artist Hayz drops their latest track “Duro” ft Balam Kiel  

Posted on 8 September 2019

Up and coming Latino Hip Hop artist Hayz has recently dropped their latest track “Duro” in collaboration with the deftly talented Balam Kiel. Together they cooked up a fresh Summer hit which wasn’t afraid to play with traditional rhythms which spill plenty of rich, vibrant textures into the mix.

With Duro, you get everything which monocultural music can’t offer, the exoticism reverberates around the intricate instrumentals as the track ebbs and flows in momentum while the bilingual vocals amp up the energy of the infectious hit.

With slow and sultry progressions in the verse which seamlessly evolve into sun-soaked euphoria in the choruses, it’s hard to let this track fade out without being enveloped in the flow of this melodious hit.

A.Sanchez Releases Latin Infused Track “No Quiero Despertar”

Posted on 12 October 2017

Music in the modern world is a wonderful blend of cross cultural interaction, a mixing of geographical location and heritage, and as the world becomes a smaller place and people become ever more fluid in where life takes them, those musical mixes become ever more interesting and diverse. A Sanchez is the perfect example of this. Raised on a combination of Latin traditions and rock hits he began exploring all manner of musical styles and eventually obtained a degree in sound engineering.

The music he makes reflects the diversity of the modern musician and whilst it bristles with the  spice and groove of southern climes, there is also the bristle of the urban backdrop to be found in its harder rap-edged deliveries and the electronic motifs which sit side by side with the more usual South American sounds. No Quiero Desperatar is the perfect song to represent the modern musical world, a wonderful mix of tradition and modernity, of iconic sounds grooves and cutting edge musicality, of geographical blending and of heading into a whole new and very bright creative future. I looks like music is in a pair of very safe hands.

A&R Factory Present: Alex Rosales

Posted on 27 March 2017

The independent singer, songwriter, producer, and musician Alex Rosales has released his latest studio endeavor, a single entitled ‘High On This Love.’ The California-based performer has previously found notable success in the Spanish rock outfit, Mantra, and through remixing Spanish Top 40 hits for Warner Music. Rosales has been a YouTube sensation, too, garnering hundreds of thousands of views on his work. Is ‘High On This Love’ worth taking a listen to, though? Let’s dig in and find out!

Right out of the gate, it is worth mentioning that ‘High On This Love’ doesn’t do anything new in any capacity. It doesn’t experiment with any sounds you haven’t heard before, Rosales’ songwriting is fairly generic, and the production is exactly what you’ll hear if you tune into your local Top 40 station. With that said, however, it’s not a bad song. In fact, it’s actually quite decent.

‘High On This Love’ is a pop love ballad with stereotypical lines the likes of “I could show you the world,” a lyric that should really best be left in ‘Aladdin.’ It’s also a very charismatic pop song, though, and despite its endless cliches, it’s an enjoyable listen. Rosales’ voice is spectacularly good, and it’s very refreshing to hear a vocalist who hasn’t been noticeably altered in post-production. His passionate performance sells this song.

Instrumentally, it’s a very noninvasive song. You could spin Rosales’ music in the backdrop of just about any activity and it would be perfectly apt. That’s perfect Top 40 music: infectiously catchy, inoffensive, and on occasion, actually intriguing to sit down and listen to. Nobody is going to accuse Rosales of being the voice of a generation or a poet, but he’s not trying to be either. He’s trying to do honest pop music. That’s worth respecting, and bubbly pop tunes like this singles are still worth having around.

I’d be remiss if I didn’t note that I would like to see Rosales explore more compelling territory in the future. ‘High On This Love’ is all fine and good, but he has a set of vocal chops that could enter the realms of soul, R&B, or just about anything else. Rosales owes it to himself to equip himself with stronger material than this. Hence, this is a song worth adding to your spring break playlist this season. It’s good, clean fun that’s well produced. It’s also indicative of an artist who could probably do even greater things with the right tools.
