After hearing Andrea‘s consistently stunning tracks, and watching his all too brief Life is a Banana live set, I was inclined to feature him on a GDD™ Guest Mix. As a producer/DJ from France, he doesn’t quite fit the general style that typically comes to be associated with the European country. Andrea has a keen sense of the bass-driven underground as he tends to gravitate towards a soulful, downtempo sound with lush atmospheres and a hint of hip-hop influence. His excellent 30 minute mix exhibits his distinctive taste and strong vibes that will keep you coming back for more.

New York City’s Grammy Award winning producer/DJ, Louie Vega, released his stunning Elements of Life Eclipse album on Fania Records last month. With a keen sense of world music and a respect for American music roots, Louie, along with his talented band mates, showcases an incredibly diverse sound that tastefully blends Afrobeat, Jazz, Latin, R&B, Gospel, Soul, Blues, and Brazilian. The 17-track offering provides for a unique, sophisticated music experience that has resulted from 4 years of hard work and dedication.
Louie continues to add to his already impressive catalog, and will only further his illustrious career in the years to come. Purchase the album on iTunes and check out video above for more background behind the release.
