~Danny Massure's Mix for January 2011 caught my eye my scrolling through SC...described as "Funk Latin Afrobeat 60s 70s Soul Breaks," I couldnt resist clicking and taking a listen...I was pleasantly surprised to discover the mix included "Boricua Bounce (Loisaida mix)," a track of mine that has popped up on more than a few mixes now! Great mix and many thanks for the love!
