Michel Cleis ‘La Mezcla’ wins track of the season, at the Pacha DJ awards, Ibiza 09.
Yes its official. The Swiss / French producer Michel Cleis has been awarded the respected 'Track of the Season' for 'La mezcla' at the Pacha DJ awards in Ibiza last night. We always said it would be big and now its official.
We all now recognise that distinct flute sample adapted from the Afro-Latin performers work Totó La Momposina... sounding a little like a hypnotic Frère Jacques. 'La Mezcla' is now a truly inimitable summer record that has touched the collective consciousness of ibiza this year.
The records success is not entirely surprising as Pete Tong has expressed his support on the record with 4 plays to date, and practically every Ibiza club and DJ has given it a spin. Support was universal, coming from Ricardo Villalobos and Luciano, spreading out to Dennis Ferrer, Louie Vega, Laidback Luke and Erick Morillo.
Michel Cleis has stated "The record’s success is down to my girl friend, she concretely introduced me to Toto La Momposina 's work, the Colombian artist who was the basis of La Mezcla".
The record goes on general release on Nov 2nd with new remixes from Copyright, Charles Webster and DJ Roog (Hardsoul).
