KCRW DJ RAUL CAMPOS PRESENTS “LOTERIA BEATS MIXTAPE, VOL. 1” SET FOR RELEASE OCTOBER 23RD ON NACIONAL RECORDS

The Latin Electronic/Funk Mixtape-Style Album Features Remixes and Tracks from Nortec Collective, Thievery Corporation, David Byrne, Pacha Massive, Sergio Mendes and Many Other Leading Acts

Nacional Records is proud to present Raul Campos’ (host of the influential “Nocturna” show on Santa Monica public radio station KCRW 89.9FM/ KCRW.com) “Loteria Beats Mixtape, Vol. 1”. The album, to be released on October 23rd, is the first of its kind in this genre with the flow of a mixtape and features a cooler-than-cool list of not only acclaimed electronic acts from around the globe like Nortec Collective (Tijuana), The Pinker Tones (Barcelona), Pacha Massive (The Bronx) and Mexican Institute of Sound (Mexico City), but also rare remixes of such artists as Thievery Corporation, David Byrne and Sergio Mendes as well as up-and-comers Cuarto Poder, Los Rumbers, and Choc Quib Town.

It’s only fitting that the first Latin alternative/electronic mixtape of this kind comes from Campos, who along with KCRW music director Nic Harcourt has been continually recognized for introducing Latin Alternative artists to a wider audience and supporting bands like Café Tacuba, Ozomatli and Julieta Venegas throughout their careers.

When he is not busy hosting his week-nightly show “Nocturna” on KCRW, native angeleno Raul Campos continues to make a name for himself as a leading tastemaker DJ, and has recently rocked the decks to sold-out venues like LA’s Hollywood Bowl and NYC’s Central Park Summerstage hosting the 8th annual LAMC (Latin Alternative Music Conference) for the second year in a row.
