The fifth edition of Dj Javier Estrada‘s Ritmos Del Mundo Series was released this week which is filled with originals and dope remixes by Sabbo, Matanza, Boyfriend, Ophex, Jay Fay and more. Also interesting is the track “Chupa Bèbè”, which is a collab between Dj Javier Estrada and my homies from Curacao aka KiT that features vocals in my native language Papiamento. Listen to some of the tunes below and follow the download link to grab the whole thing. Be on the lookout for Ritmos Del Mundo 5: Part 2 which drops real soon and contains contributions from producers such as Munchi, Heartbreak, Paul Devro, Douster, Canblaster and more.
I did the tourist thing and took a vacation to Curacao, a sister island in the Caribbean which is like a 15 minute flight from where i’m based. I ate a lot of coconuts, climbed palm trees and jumped from a 75+ feet cliff into the water pirata style. If you didn’t have such a dope time these last few days get ready to rave with some wicked tunes. Grab all the madness below and shake dat ting like a mad islander would.

Douster is one of my favorite producers and has a new tune out today. It’s pretty sick and makes me want to joyride a big truck with a trailer rigged with the baddest soundsystem ever invented and invite all my friends to have one big mobile party, carnival style. Here’s Douster explaining in his own words how this track came to be:
“Back in early 2009, i was living in Buenos Aires when my homeboy Federico (arcade) gave me that sort of argentinian party break. It was basically some old dude yellin things like “toda la manitos en el aire” and other party tings. I did a whole track around the CARAJO! sample in a kinda bassline meets kuduro vibe. It was quite a hit back then and since i never did anything with it, i wanted to share it with y’all !”
