Catan Cotie — Alignment

The remarkable mix “Alignment,” released by the Brazilian DJ Catan Cotie around 2012 is a real masterpiece and reveals the peculiar moment of the Dj Set project around his own oldschool moments in his career. The sound evolves distant styles inside this intense laboratory of Mashups and exotic mixes. A fine selection, revealing new producers and new experimentations on that period of time, composes and conducts through an alchemic and ethereal experience on this masterpiece.


It’s time to keep going. To see what is in front of us and still climbing the mountain. Patience and knowledge are always welcome in our lives. Alignment.
