Following a meteoric rise to the top, the Japanese DJ \/ turntablist extraordinaire has won the world over with his unquestionable humility, refreshing positivity, and flawless skills. The DJ's DJ, it's as much about taste as it is technicality for one of the world's best showmen.\u003c\/p\u003e\nWhen the idea arose for a Cuban Classics 45 Boxset to mark RSD 2026, DJ KOCO was top of the list. With a deep-seated passion for Cuban music, it's melting pot of cultures, it's focus on rhythm, and it's undeniable groove, DJ KOCO presents a selection of his favourite Cuban cuts, as well as two exclusive edits for the boxset.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eIt kicks off with the Latin funk sounds of Ricardo Eddy Martínez y Expreso Rítmico's 'La 132' from 1978, before rolling into one of two spellbinding Juan Pablo Torres y Algo Nuevo cuts found on the boxset. Elsewhere, you'll hear Farah María's slow disco 'Ámame y No pienses Mas', an unusual American-leaning production for Cuba at the time, given the state of US-Cuban political relations in that period. Other highlights include Orquesta Riverside's 'En Casa Del Trompo No Bailes', taken from a rare collectable 7\", channelling a low-slung Latin bounce which explodes into an Afro-Cuban dancer as the track progresses.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eIn signature style, DJ KOCO has also served up two exclusive edits for the boxset. These include a reworking of the Cuban children's band Grupo Ismaelillo's quirky 'Amanecer', giving it a more DJ-friendly structure. You'll also find DJ KOCO's take on FA-5's much-loved funky dancer 'Muévete Con Las Fuerzas Del Corazón' with it's heavy b-boy\/girl break from 1976.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eTestament to Cuba's vast and vibrant musical landscape, DJ KOCO has cherry-picked some of the finest recordings to emanate from the country, spanning a wide range of styles and rhythms. Yet what ties all the tracks on this boxset together, is a hip hop sensibility and thirst for a breaks-heavy, danceable energy which radiates through DJ KOCO's masterful DJ sets.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACK LIST:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 Ricardo Eddy Martínez y Expreso Rítmico - la 132\u003cbr\u003e2 Juan Pablo Torres y Algo Nuevo - Rompe Cocorioco\u003cbr\u003e3 Farah María - Ámame y No Pienses Mas\u003cbr\u003e4 Grupo Ismaelillo - Amanecer - DJ Koco Edit\u003cbr\u003e5 Fa-5 - Muévete Con Las Fuerzas Del Corazón - DJ Koco Edit\u003cbr\u003e6 Grupo los Yoyi - Paco la Calle\u003cbr\u003e7 Juan Pablo Torres y Algo Nuevo - y Viva la Felicidad\u003cbr\u003e8 Orquesta Riverside - en Casa Del Trompo No Bailes\u003cbr\u003e9 Grupo Fa-5 - Ya Tengo Un Amor Verdadero\u003cbr\u003e10 Rembert Egües - Tema Para Un Amanecer\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MR BONGO","offers":[{"title":"7\"","offer_id":44112885252195,"sku":"5024017007154","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/2553\/7123\/files\/4487812-3514120.jpg?v=1776339216","url":"https:\/\/lunchboxrecords.com\/products\/5024017007154","provider":"Lunchbox Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
