MondayMix: El Tres de Mayo

I don’t know if I should, but I feel like summer is nearly upon us. The mercury is slowly creeping up when our backs are turned so I’ve responded with a few pacy, energetic selection of songs to kick off the week (and the summery weather). We’ve got a song from Brazilian singer Vanessa da Mata and a classy b-side off Two Door Cinema Club’s  ”I Can Talk” single release (and apparently the Japanese version of “Tourist History” as well). I also came across a tight Lupe Fiasco/Empire Of The Sun mash-up from Ha! Yes and another Phoenix remix courtesy of Alex Metric. Add in a track from Chilean hip-hop maestro Latin Bitman’s “Colour,” a couple remixes including Spain’s La Bien Querida and Passion Pit, a catchy tune off Kitsuné Maison #9 and a new song from Tokyo Police Club’s “Champ” and you have this week’s mix. Check it!

Here’s a new addition to Escucharemos, MondayMix. Simply put, it’s a group of songs that have been playing over and over in my head throughout the past week. This week’s mix is predominantly remixes (a few of The Twelves’) and songs that get me ready for the upcoming week; they’re catchy, energetic, pacy and driven. There’s some Office Musik, Manu Chao, Bob Marley, Empire Of The Sun and Two Door Cinema Club (among others).
