I’ve really been digging the re-release of ‘Mi Swing es Tropical’ by ‘Quantic and Nickodemus’ now that Apple is using the song in its latests iPod commercials. It’s actually a perfect song for an iPod commercial and it’s great that they’re using some more eclectic music rather than the rock and alternative acts that they’ve been pushing since they first started doing iPod commercials. That said, ‘Mi Swing’ is the opening song for this month’s Vee Mix. I also went back to some early 90’s Happy Mondays. From their ‘Pills ‘n’ Thrills and Bellyaches’ I’ve included ‘Step On’. Also, check out ‘Loose Fit’ and ‘Kinky Afro’ from that album.
We’ve been getting lots of calls at the station for ‘Hess is More” so I threw in a faster version of ‘Yes Boss’ Even with the changed pitch, the song is still sexy as hell.
