Mixes We Love :: Moni’s Get Up Brazil for WNYC
The good folks at WNYC asked me to make a mix for their Social Mixer series and I happily obliged. This is a mix I’ve been meaning to record for some time because it has all the songs that keep me motivated when I rarely make it to the gym. It’s got some older tracks & some new goodies that make you wanna get up & move! It’s a combination of uptempo Brazilian rhythms laced with some deep bass and a touch of electro. Read the article on WNYC & listen to the mix or you can also download it on our new Podomatic account to enjoy it any time, any place!
