DJ Meistro  10:00 am on April 29, 2014May 1, 2014

Janelle Monáe’s “What is Love” appears in the animated feature Rio 2. The tune mixes a Brazilian beat with Monáe’s soaring vocals and an infectious hook; all the makings of a summer jam.

Song of the Day: DJ LK “Numa Nice Numa Boa (Original Mix)”

DJ Jayclue  10:00 am on April 23, 2013April 23, 2013

I’m absolutely loving “Numa Nice Numa Boa” by DJ LK out on Royal Soul Records. The whole album is filled with brazilian style rhythms made with modern feeling and danceable beats. This is a great spring vibe!
