#107 Future Nostalgic
by Carlos Valdes
Here some music that I usually play at home, 80's, 90's and some unreleased stuff. Let the music do that talking and enjoy every beat of it..
Wasn't it beautiful, weren't we cool... Oh those days! We used to mix tapes for ourselves, our friends and... for the cutest girls whom we would impress with personalized tapes, full of music they didn't know yet. For hours we would lock ourselves in our rooms, alone with records, 12"-s, singles, a turntable and a tape-deck. A perfect mix of two times 45 minutes, and you will be remembered for ever!
Who does not remember the time 'auto reverse' was introduced? Wow! That was innovation! And innovation lasted: now we have Spotify! An online library with a wide range of artists and genres! And with the possibility to share it with your friends.
Strangelove (a creative advertising agency in Amsterdam) had the idea to ask music professionals to make a Mixed Tape - a playlist in Spotify. A very simple idea with a really nice result!
You need Spotify to listen to the tapes.
4 years of experience in distribution of promotion material of cultural dance events, publicity, production assistance, stage managing, bookings, writing for magazines, internet & playing as a DJ as well as working with creative people made him want to create a home base for all these activities. This lead to: www.soulrock.net
Together with Maralina David and Roy Lepoutre (tapehead 55) he created a steady event-, bookings agency and music label.
