cellone1, local hyper-instrumental producer and resident Lapa Lounger MikeStyles are Vinyl Relay, the name that is derived from passing a mix of records back and fourth in relay fashion. Their mix is taken in a different direction every few minutes as both selectas add their personal creative perspective to the session. The mix collages of over 50 artists showcased in just over an hour of soul, funk, brazilian beat and hip hop.
The duo has not only chosen to celebrate their pre-release party at the Lapa Lounge, but they will have a limited amount of copies for your listening pleasures, prior to its indi-store release a week later. Come out and be a part of this special occassion with a special 2x4 mix (yes, that's 2 djs, 4 turntables) by Vinyl Relay and take home the mixtape of the summer!
