The J Balvin remix contest of his song Nuestro Momento
Some time ago J Balvin and some liquor 🥃 company held a contest to remix his song Nuestra Momento. I was one of the contestants i remixed a version of the track too. My track is what I consider to be Samba electronica. What you hear with my vocals and his vocal track is call and response. I never found out who wound up winning the competition. I did win as we all did by getting the chance to at least have it heard and also just to remix a track and say that I have a version of it myself.

Babalu Aye cover by Rikki La Rouge
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZY8X43FIz0&pp=ygUVUmlra2kgbGEgcm91Z2UgYmFiYWx1 what you are hearing in this article is my cover of the iconic Cuban song Babalu Aye. Like Willy Chirino says about himself, hijo de Babalu I believe in Babalu myself too. Babalu was introduced to American audiences on the famed classic and iconic 1950 sitcom starring Lucille Ball and Desi I love Lucy. Desi is underrated and a genius who deserves to be more celebrated than he was. He was truly and over looked icon. Everyone focused on Lucille Ball but they overlooked Desi . Also, that’s something I’ll get into another article.

🕯 Sonic Séance: Channeling the Dead Through Dark Ambient
Dark ambient is often described as haunting—but what if it wasn’t just a vibe? What if it was a method of summoning? Not in the theatrical occult sense, but as a ritual of remembrance—a way to invite the presence of those we’ve lost, or the versions of ourselves that time has buried.
