I was asked by Italian DJ / producer GLEDD (also record label boss) to make a mix for his label’s series. If you’re not familiar, do yourself a favor and check out the Saint Wax catalogue- lots of dancefloor gems and heaters! My mix is 70mins, leaning heavily into Afro, Disco, & House, with some Latin and a bit of other trippy Psychedelic sounds blended in as well. Also a couple unreleased edits of mine in here. Enjoy the trip!
“Sonido Madera” is my tribute to the wide breadth of music from around the world that features the marimba, or one of it’s many cousins- the balafon, the xylophone, and the xalaparta among others. I’ve always been naturally attracted to the earthy percussive sound of wood resonating, and it’s become one of the most recurring instruments in my own music production without me even realizing it.
Perhaps it’s partly due to my background as a drummer, growing up in the forest surrounded by trees, or the fact that music highlighting the marimba is often connected to Africa, folkloric roots, and tropical locations which I love. Whatever the case may be, I have a deep appreciation for the sound of wood and the music it makes. This mix is a 70-minute musical world tour, with songs and artists from over 20 countries, including some tracks that date back to the 50’s and others that are brand new releases.
You’ll hear electronic dance music, Afrobeat, Cumbia, Colombian Bullerengue, Malian Disco, Jazz, Salsa, a touch of punk rock and even a cheeky nod to the “Exotica” music which essentially commercialized and re-branded authentic marimba based music for White audiences. There’s also a touch of Txalaparta music which I learned about in Basque Country, Spain, as well as a taste of Jegog music played on bamboo, which I first heard in Bali, Indonesia. Of course there are endless more examples of amazing wood-based music out there, harnessing the powerful voices of trees, and I hope this mix inspires listeners to keep exploring!
Amazing mix! That marimba section took me straight back to Colombia — and the Txalaparta part is such a deep cut. Been listening non-stop all week.
On a side note, I’ve been writing my IG captions about this mix using letras bonitas so they stand out — con tildes y todo, se ven genial en las historias.
Thanks Captain Planet, another gem for the collection!
Another incredible journey from Captain Planet! The way the marimba threads through the whole mix is masterful — that Malian Disco section had me stopping everything to look up the tracklist.
Small thing I use when I share mixes like this on my stories: I grab dj emojis to make the post look like a proper radio show promo ️
Thanks for keeping these ZZK mixes coming, this one’s on permanent rotation!
In need of a proper soundtrack to keep your gratitude flowing and hips in motion while you stuff that Turducken? I got you! Once again I’m back with another 60 minutes of eclectic soulful dance music from around the world. Gospel disco, Brazilian boogie, Indian psychedelic synth grooves, Afro, Latin, Middle Eastern house music… it’s all here. Plus more of the good funky stuff that you didn’t know you needed, but you definitely do. Tune in and take a trip.

The range of styles described here gives the mix a strong sense of motion without reducing it to a single genre label. Moving from gospel disco and Brazilian boogie toward psychedelic synth grooves and house influences creates room for contrast across the hour. A holiday gathering soundtrack works best when it can support conversation as well as invite people to move, and this selection seems built around that balance. The international scope also makes rhythm the connecting thread rather than a decorative afterthought.
A 60-minute set can feel especially well paced when its range is organized around movement rather than genre labels. The shift from gospel disco and Brazilian boogie to Indian psychedelic synth grooves, Afro, Latin, and Middle Eastern house suggests an eclectic arc that can work both as a holiday gathering soundtrack and a focused listening session. The worldwide selection gives the mix a clear identity without making it feel narrowly themed.
It’s been a long running tradition of mine to make a mix during the dog days of Summer. Something about these hot slow moving lazy weeks, mixed with the saudade of how fast it all passed by, make me feel really reflective & nostalgic. Hope these tunes help capture that mood for you too. 60mins of super eclectic global soul- Brazilian boogie, Balearic, Afrobeats, Afro House, Latin House, Disco and intercontinental vibes.

The idea of a late-summer mix built around reflection gives the track selection a purpose beyond genre tags. Afrohouse, disco, and house can all carry warmth and movement, while still leaving room for the slower, nostalgic feeling described here. A mix works particularly well for that transition because its sequencing can let the mood shift gradually instead of demanding one fixed emotional note. That sense of pacing is what can make a seasonal listen feel cohesive.
I’m back once again with another 60 mins of super eclectic dance sounds from all around the globe. In case you didn’t already know- Mixtape Riot stands in total defiance of all things algorithm, seamlessly blending selections that would rarely find themselves back-to-back in a playlist elsewhere, creating a virtual sonic journey like cassette tape mixes from yesteryear. It’s about personality, soul, and making connections where you often least expect them. From Euro balearic reggae, to funky Brazilian soul, to Colombian Afro electronic, to Middle Eastern & West African disco, to house bangers & Amapiano & beyond… It’s all in the mix! Grease up them hip joints and open your mind to the intercontinental boogie.

The 70-minute mix sounds like a great trip through Afro, disco, and house with Latin and psychedelic touches—plus unreleased edits is a nice bonus.

Great mix, really dig the blend of Afro and Disco vibes you mentioned. That 70-minute runtime gives plenty of time to get lost in the groove, especially with those unreleased edits. I was actually looking for some good classic warrior builds when I stumbled across this, found a nice list on WoW Forever Warrior talents that helped me out during my breaks. Enjoy the rest of your mixing sessions!
