DJ Juan Data takes you on a shaolin cumbia journey with the addictive Mersaholic. Born and raised in Caballito, a middle-class neighborhood of Buenos Aires, Argentina; Juan Data discovered hip-hop and dance music culture at the early age of 13. Years later after relocating to California he moved to San Francisco and since then he has been playing, non stop, at house parties, clubs, bars, lounges, restaurants and concert venues all over the city and beyond. Still a freelance music journalist by day (and a comic book aficionado) Juan Data puts on his wrestler mask by night and transforms into his DJ alter-ego to rock the party with his characteristically eclectic play-list, experimental mixes and outrageous performances. We first got familair with him after discovering the Linyerismo episode I and the more recent Linyersimo episode II and where blown away by it. Hands down for this music journalist (you can read up on his articles and reviews on latinbutcool.blogspot.com, Billboard En Español, Remezcla and our own crackforyourears.com), DJ and person in general for this new gem: Mersaholic (direct download)!

Amsterdam is cold and rainy most of the time, nothing compared to the sunny warm days in Rio de Janeiro. But the one thing we got in common is that we at CFYE are just as passionate about Baile Funk, as the cariocas are. Diplo's Mad Decent released the documentary Favela on Blast which shows Baile Funk and it's social cultural impact. CFYE is all about promoting and pushing the good stuff, so check out the teaser video below.
