eXCLUSIVE - eL Stinkeyes - BrOwn AcId mIx vOL. 4 - "lA hiStOriA dE AmOr" (2012)

The art of the Latin American ballads and boleros is almost unrivaled in its strength and emotion. These are just "awful" songs of love and longing. To me the irony comes from the fact that in the land of "Machismo" there are these boys cranking out the most pussy whipped music to exist. I mean, talk about your ultimate break up mix tape you listened to in high school. This newest Brown Acid installation highlights on those vintage psychedelic sounds of said boleros and ballads and also some slow jams as well. Reverberated vocals, twangy guitar licks, warm farfisas, phantom fuzzes, and some strut-worthy basslines.

Now take your left hand and hold your heart and with your right hand clench the air in front of your face. Then proceed to shake that right fist to the lyrics.

eXCLUSIVE - eL Stinkeyes - "Girls on Yachts Mix" (2011)

Yacht Rock is primarily a male dominated genre and it took me a minute and some homework to create, in my opinion, "the first" all female (Sir Elton John doesn't count) Yacht Rock Mix. If you don't understand what Yacht Rock is, in a nutshell, it's the soft, funky and smoothly produced rock/pop of the seventies. Steely Dan is a textbook example but fuck those guys right now. It's all about the ladies in 2012.

Rest In Bliss

eXCLUSIVE - eL Stinkeyes - "Poder de Chicha 2 Mix" (2010)

Its that time of year folks. We're all gorging ourselves for the winter. Maximizing our fat reserves for the coming months. Would you like more starch with your starch? Seconds? Thirds? Elevensies? Save room for dessert mijo. And the gravy flows like a thick brown iridescent Angel Falls. What better way to say goodbye to the golden warmth of the sun than with one more mixtape of those tropical Chicha jams. I've logged many hours these past few months, searching the dregs, combing the fine mesh of the internet to bring us a new stable of tracks to play into the dirt. I've surprised myself with this years harvest. New names. New faces. New tones. "New." Some of these remind me of the time I traveled in Peru back in 2001. Especially when I was on the northern coast. I definitely remember riding a bus around Huanchaco with the conductor blasting a tiny boombox to the point where it was breaking up and distorting but it still sounded awesome. I had no idea at the time that that was this that I'm collecting these days. I just thought it was some weird sounding cumbias. Having said that, I'll shut up.

Tracklist:

1.) Los Ecos - Aqui en la fiesta (I don't want to spoil the party)

eXCLUSIVE - eL Stinkeyes - "Caimán en Celo Mix" (2010)

Technically the air in central Texas should be classified as a solid rather than a gas these days. Hot. Thick. Swampy. Its what our Louisiana neighbors call "Alligator Hot" or something you'd experience in Latin American jungles. That's why I'm not doing shit. My adaptations to my environment are achieving vampirical status. The sun is my mortal enemy and I long for dusk just to remerge from my hermitage and revel in the power of the night, and usually my PM activities are festive in nature and any night can be treated as a "Michelob Weekend." Ergo, this mix. Its got a little afro-beat, a little cuban funk, cumbias, my obligatory chicha tangent and some weirdness as usual. I was gonna call this mix "Browntown"(which is what I refer to any non-western music, specifically Latin America and Africa where music and dance is just like food and drink: essential.) but chose "Alligators in Heat." Sweaty good times.

1.) Algo Nuevo/Juan Pablo Torres - Y Viva La Felicidad

eXCLUSIVE - eL Stinkeyes - Brown Acid Mix Vol 2. - "Vamos ala Go-Go Mix" (2010)

Oh the road of crate digging, analog or digital, it can be rough most of the time and the rewards are few. Listening to hours of middle of the road music just to find that one gem. Culling through the dregs of music history. Its kinda like cleaning up somebody's house after they passed away and going through a bunch of bullshit. 90% of everything winds up in the garbage while you go home with a lamp or something. Well guess what? Who passed away? Psyche rock (R.I.P.) and here is the lamp I'm bringing home to you that's gonna shed some light on the Latin American psyche scene in the 60's.

Now I must admit I'm more of a fan of the gear than the music of the 60's. I like the sound of the recordings more so the sound of the music itself. No, I dont want to hear "Satisfaction" or "Day Tripper" covered in Spanish. No, I dont care if your wearing Syd Barrett's dirty underwear dipped in LSD. Just be a young Latino and give me a hook goddamnit!

So, I am now making mixtapes for the people and I am starting with a laid-back latino psyche-rock compilation.  All of these songs have been pre-approved "choice" by me. I just have a penchant for old shitty recordings, twangy guitars, echo chambers, lush string arrangements, and lost Latin American culture.
