Their name says it all - Masters At Work.

The two native New Yorkers have amassed an overwhelming body of work including hundreds of original productions and defiantly mix everything they can find - house, hip hop, funk, disco, Latin, African and jazz - into a universal groove. XLR8R's Shawn Reynaldo sits down with them on the couch during Red Bull Music Academy's 'New York City to SF Bay' lecture series [...]

Did You Hear? :: Many musicians are still riled up that the Recording Academy has eliminated over 30 categories (including Best Tejano Album, Best Zydeco or Cajun Music Album and Best Contemporary Folk Album) for this year's Grammys. A protest committee has been formed, and will stand protest outside the Staples Center on Sunday. Fans of Latin jazz, gospel and blues music have been invited to participate as well.

At the Echo on Friday night, sitting next to a handful of future lung cancer patients, staring at my phone, I was thinking about Azealia Banks. The Harlem rapper/singer is nothing if not a compelling personality; "212," her star-making single after a few embryonic misfires, is her Don Draper carousel pitch. The video offers little more than her ear-to-ear smile, self-consciously silly dance moves and a Mickey Mouse sweater. It is, in a word, fun. Banks, whose Twitter display name is "Yung Rapunxel" and responded to the Huffington Post's police siren article about her bisexuality with the line, "Who came [...]

McClatchy Newspapers (MCT) -- MIAMI - For years the Colombian rock star Juanes has played for adoring crowds of thousands, even hundreds of thousands. But in front of just 700 people at the New World Symphony's New World Center, the critically and popularly lauded singer was visibly nervous. And excited. "I'm so happy to be here sharing this dream come true with all of you," he said. The Wednesday night performance that put Juanes in front of his smallest...

My producer gives me a countdown inside my earpiece. "Three, two, one. We're live." "Greetings fellow waveriders. My name is Penfold. Thank you for joining me this evening. If you look back on my writings for The Ripple Effect you'll discover that I enjoy telling a humorous, entertaining yarn. It's true. I count humor as one of my greatest allies in the fight against musical disinterest. Tonight however, I'm here to discuss a very serious topic that affects us all. That's right. Not only does this issue affect [...]

We don't know about Europe, but over Panamérika the sun is shining and springtime makes itself felt as the coldest winds seem to fade. Unexplainably, the birds still seem very angry, so we'll play them some tropical tunes to make them happy. Come and get carried away by the anger of our avenging birds! Las Chicas Lindas and BN Loco welcome the journey with 'La Cumbia De Los Pajaritos Emputados', followed by Grupo Maravilla and their 'Angry Birds Cumbia', and 'Villa Alemana', a cumbia villera homage to Kraftwerk by The Peronists. We also have a song for all the upsetters [...]

mp3: Jerry Green and The Passengers - Puerto Rico When Puerto Rico was released on Atlantic in 1964, drummer Jerry Greenberg already had his own label and was immersed in the music business. Ten years later, aged just 32, he became President of Atlantic records; apparently the youngest person to ever to head a major. He went on to work with ABBA, Led Zeppelin and Michael Jackson, among many others. But, who really cares about all that? Today's selection is a top-notch Latin-infused tittyshaker -- that's the main thing.

The preeminent Mexican guitar duo rattles Havana with a Cuban orchestra. Rerecording your greatest hits with an orchestra seems like the uninspired move of a washed-up band who has a record contract to fulfill. Area 52 is not that, rather a genuine undertaking of self-rearrangement and ethno-musical immersion. For the uninitiated, Rodrigo Y Gabriella is an acoustic guitar duo from Mexico. They take 12 nylon strings as far as they can go: Rodrigo plays explosively fast leads that are equally inspired by heavy metal and Latin...

New tech house from Mexican pairing on 530Techno. Includes free download of Oilpanic remix. The EP's title track is a lovely warm chiming piece of techno, with a smooth pace hardly suited to a dancefloor. Pick of the EP. Hypnose E Thanatos is a delicate synth driven thing, equaly unsuited to the rough boys on the dancefloor. The Oilpanic remix of Hypnose E Thanatos is a bit more angular and truer to the tech house description given to the EP. The Android Cartel remix of the title track is much colder and more digital [...]

Azealia Banks - 212 Azealia Banks is just one bad ass bitch. She's blowing up right now. Kanye follows her on twitter, Pitchfork featured her in the top 10 tracks of 2011, she played a show at Karl Lagerfeld's house and Universal Records signed her in January. Also, she was just profiled by the New York Times The high school dropout comes from Harlem but attended private schools early in her life and as a listener, you can definitely pick up on these dichotomous lives she experienced.

Latin house producer, Gregor Salto's, remix of "If a Lie was Love" by Josie Cotton is dissimilar in style to many of his other tracks but not any less impressive. Salto effortlessly floats between tranquil bass lines and hard hitting drops. Meanwhile, Cotton's sultry, delicate vocals are highlighted by squealing rhythms, sweeps, and synth cords. This is the kind of track that forces even the most passive listener to jump. For another energetic Salto song check out his collaboration with Chuckie, " What Happens in Vegas? " or if you're in the mood for something more classically Salto try the [...]
