Le Tane

Le Tane put out an awesome summer mix called “The Thrill Of It” and I must say, it is pretty thrilling.  It’s an hour long set of hand picked electronic synth-rock and hipster pop, 80’s style dance tracks for the summer of 2009.  It really is great, check it out on his blog at KenyaDig.com.  I linked MP3’s for some of the tracks on the mix below.

“If you like what you hear and interested in having me provide some sweaty jungle love at your kids’ birthday party, please email me at latane.hughes@gmail.com. ive done it before, and will do it again, but this time with music.” – Le Tane
