DJ Set I can't Ado Much About - Dj Matafesta & Dj Michel - Welcome to RM Family, Afromix Style Vol. 2

Always walk, never run.

Speed is feat best left to the professionals.

After all, making difficult tasks seem easy is a true sign of greatness; momentum management included. For just such a reason, then, the author has long revered the universe at large. To the uninitiated, multitasking seem insurmountable. While Expanding the parameters of reality seems impossible on the surface, doing so while accelerating is simply awe-inspiring. Odometers truly kneel before the cosmos. Thus, any master seeking to hug the learning curve while racing past must first remain diligently at work. Fun only lasts until a fire extinguisher is needed after a hundred meter dash. But still, with just right amount of physical gifts and discipline, shooting arrows at sprinting stars remains a viable.

For the rest - turtles to the world's hare - the compilation below will surely suffice

Released earlier this week, what follows is a joint effort from RM Family Djs Matafesta and miCheL; the latter of which is responsible for a good funana mix in the not so distant past as well. The present, however, is different. A wider audience in mind. And so, as the name might suggests, the mix follows an inoffensive past. But largely composed of fast-paced Angolan afro-house and kuduro, a quaint element is retained by the production duo. Intentions are clear from the beginning - as evident by the bold decision to begin with a remixes of "Botão" and "CoCo." Listeners and dancers alike are impolitely asked to recklessly turn up; demands which the audience would wise to abide by. After all, the theme does not change throughout the selection's duration. But more impressively the energy level is successfully maintained, if not placed into a controlled descent. In spite of forgoing any warm-up toward a full-sprint, thus backing themselves into a corner, sufficient reserves are retained. For all intents and purposes, a common bassline is pieced together. Aggressive four-beat synth melodies not unlike an EDM set fuel the audience. Different vocal styles and subtle syncopation changes assures sufficient variety as well; which is to say there is no over reliance on bangers (although the a certain Mauricio Pastrana track works to great effect).

Needless to say the download is highly recommended
