Merry LatinCrunk Xmas!
By: Zuleny
Hoping everyone is already fully recovered and catch up on sleep from Christmas day and New Years’partying (we sure are working on that!!) here is a little recap from our Christmas night with our peeps from the LatinCronk Xmas party held at Dean’s in Houston Downtown.
We got to Dean’s a little after 8:30pm while Ed San Chez was doing sound check, I said hi to Stephen, who is the guy in charge at Dean’s, we had a tamal and a cup of hot chocolate which we had there available for everyone as promised, which were delishhh I may add (maybe i was just hungry!), Ed San Chez started jamming with songs from Nortec Collective, Gustavo Cerati, The Pinker Tones and Bajofondo, while we danced and mingled. Later that night I started spinnin’ some Lady Hawke, Peaches, Nina Dioz, Le Castle Vania, Steve Aoki, Drop the Lime and Computer Club tunes and last but not least Panchitron (which was actually meant to open the show) started his set with Vampire Weekend’s remix by Toy Selectah, Buraka Som System's Wegue Wegue, Sonido del Principe amongst others. We each had 30 minute sets and each of us had about 3 sets.
Panchitron played Guarachero Raverton in which he had a track called "Watagatpitusberry" song done over youtube by a group of teenage dominicans that represent The Washington Heights in New York City called 3patine7, which seems to sound a lot like “Beeper” from The Count and Sinden ft Kid Sister but with a twist of cumbia which make it sound awesome plus everyone loved.

Edson’s second set was off the chain! he played Selena's Bidi Bidi Bom Bom, Locomia's self title track in which everyone pretended to use a fan on their dance moves, there was a point where we all went nuts and Shina, another Houstonian performer (more about her later) took it on the bar and got it on and we all got it on with her! Bartenders where so nice they had awesome special drinks and gave me a few tequila shots (it was like the read my mind...)
We all had a great time and look forward to the next party sometime in January. We’ll have pictures soon courtesy of Sindy Lagunas former Houston Press photographer.
