Listening to the current Slang Tang podcast for breakfast, I strongly recommend checking out Sonido del Principe´s myspace. Also, DJ Negro´s “Mundo Querido” and Daniel Haaksman´s remix of Madera Limpia´s “Loco” are pretty mental.
I don´t know if it´s a good thing that the people over at HighSnobiety can´t even spell reggae - I guess it is if they keep promoting shoes like these pretty ugly “New Balance Raggae”…
