Track Of The Day: “Global” Ana Bulnes

updated on Leave a Comment on Track Of The Day: “Global” Ana Bulnes

This track brings Latin grooves and melds it with atmospheric sounds, plus a vocal delivered in Spanish.., this track is giving me the perfect soundtrack to my sunset… the beat is built around shakers, kick, snare, a sunny 808 which is perfect for the date. Ana Bulnes delivers a performance that isn’t reliant on the …

Single Review: “I Do” – Jerry Barnes

updated on

This is the new single from the man who holds down the bottom end of Chic’s sound.  And it’s so good.  Fusing hard hitting four on the floor beats held together with a big reverbed clap, with a house piano, and bouncy bass lines this track is so catchy! The vocals are in the falsetto …
