Quantic’s Cali Cartel mix
Waxpoetics is one of the two magazines I buy without mistake (the other being Straight no Chaser). And it’s the only one I read from the first to the last letter. Don’t matter if it’s about Funk, Jazz, Reggae, Latin or even Dirty South Hiphop. You’ll find issues near my bed, on the toilet, near every possible place I can sit in my house, in the record-bag I always have with me. Just in case I’ve got a spare minute to read. It opened my musical world even more and that’s one of the greatest things that can happen in my live.
Issue 19 had articles about Joe Bataan, dj Red Alert and Azymuth next to one about the 70’s Cali (Columbia) dance music scene. A door to an entirely new world was opened to me by this article. But what an article can’t do is let you hear the music, no matter how good it is written, no matter how much info it gives you. But there’s a solution to this problem. And internet is the tool to fix it. Quantic, dj / producer / beat digger extraordinaire and contributor to Waxpoetics and this article in particular made a mix with some Cali Cartel tunes. And it’s for grabs on the magazine’s site. They should do more of these mixes. They should make it a podcast.
Amen.
But where do you get your issue nowadays? Since the Mecca’s gone and Alice doesn’t always have them in the shelves either…
