With April 20th on the horizon (4/20), tokers all around the globe will be stocking on their favourite flavours so that they can celebrate their annual day by strapping up a few fat ones to blaze the day away. If you happen to be one of those people, this new mix from the Latin alternative group, Empresarios, will be the perfect soundtrack to your chilled, hazy day. It features a very cool selection of Reggae, Dub, Latin, Cumbia and Hip Hop music and has been put together ahead of their upcoming show at the National Cannabis Festival in Washington DC. As well as Empresarios performing on the day, other acts on the bill include Backyard Band, Talib Kweli and The Pharcyde.

We appreciate the subject matter of this post may not be to everyone’s taste, but the music in the mix is most definitely worth a listen, especially if you’ve had one of those days where you need to end it by chilling the ‘f’ out.

The Empresarios are made up of a 6 piece band and 2 DJ’s and as they hail from Washington DC, you just know that the sounds they create are gonna be the ones you need to have in your life. With several members in the group, each one manages to bring their own influences to add to the melting pot and create a sound that they themselves describe as ‘Tropicaliente’, which features elements of Downtempo, Dub, Latin, House, Trip-Hop and Reggaeton with a definitive eclectic edge.

The best way to find out what the Empresarios sound is all about is to of course check out some of their music and we can help you out with that, with this new mix from one of the DJ’s of the group, Sonny Cheeba. The mix has been put together to showcase the new tracks that will be featuring on their new album ‘The Vibes Remixed‘. 15 of Empresarios original tracks have been remixed by the likes of Bobby C Sound TV, Balkan Riddims, Senor Griff, and Ursula 1000, to name just a few, with the Latin based tunes being given many interesting new twists. As well as the mix containing many of the remixes, it also has a few other very cool tracks that Sonny himself personally digs.

We bring you the mix here as a World Premiere and it’s the only place you can get it for the next few days, so once you discover it, be sure to spread the word of all this amazing music on the mix, and the news that Empresarios new album will be out on Friday 18th November. Enjoy folks!
