Take it with a pinch of salt!… and DJ Cleo makes some really awesome tracks.

Anyway 2/3rds down this page you’ll find a rather eclectic mix done by me: http://africolombia.blogspot.com/search/label/Champeta%20Criolla

I do have other mixes on this site.

As far as Jokers of the Scene, I’m very happy for them that they can make a good track. I don’t really care one way or the other about it.

And as for Zombie Disco Squad, the reason of my posting was to show that claims at synthesis and originality are subjective and difficult to make. I’m sure they are nice guys, but in the clip I posted, they have no idea what they’re talking about.

Jokers of the Scene, killed it with their trancehall track tho, bet ur a bit gutted about that.
