There is nothing I dislike more than a bad DJ (well, with the exception of homophobes, racists, and boys who wear polo shirts with the collars up.) The way tracks are mixed can make or break a party, and many times I've made a fool out of myself screaming in disappointment for my money back. These recent bad experiences made me very skeptical of any DJ or team. This was not the case when I previewed latin duo T-Pro & Angel C's new compilation. I was more than pleasantly surprised!
The Music
I set out on the streets of New York with T-Pro & Angel C's new CD Tribal Pleasures burned into my mp3 player. I was cold and irritable and very prepared to fast forward just in case it didn't get my blood pumping.Tribal Pleasures immediately opened my eyes with it's lead track "Tribal Journey" by Marco Polo Cerere, giving me a little Afro-Latin feel that got my hips moving. My intentions to skim through this mix were squashed after mere seconds!
What really impressed me about T-Pro & Angel C was the connection you can feel they make with their audience; music lovers like myself who push the ON button for one purpose and one purpose only- to party! The tracks seamlessly warmed at a pace slow but exciting enough to draw you in and make the outside world disappear. The groove continued to build to the point where I had to sit down to avoid dancing my butt off on the busy subway platform. This Latin duo knows how to start a party and build excitement to the point of musical ecstasy (and not the drug silly boys!) Each vocal groove is an exciting prelude to the next. The beats are deep and hot enough to make you wonder where this DJ duo have been all your life.
