The invisible friends from Venezuela are back with a mini-album of tasty leftovers from their previous release “Commercial”, this one is funnily enough called “Not So Commercial” (out February 8.). To be honest, this is not their absolute best stuff, but as always there are some really sexy tracks to be found including the tribute song “Corduroy” that really nails the sound of the Acid Jazz pioneers from back in the day. You can listen to a complete preview at the Nacional Records website.

DJ Afro, also known as José Luis Pardo – the guitarist in Los Amigos Invisibles, has his own hourly radio show where he spins some of his favorite tunes from many different genres. On his website there is an excellent archive of his newest shows available for online listening, just follow the link above and check it out because there is a lot of really good stuff in there, although some of his house mixes are not my cup of tea.

The whole band, and especially their guitar player and DJ José Luis Pardo, have remixed and collaborated with a lot of different bands and artists over the years, and presented here are some audio samples of the (in my own humble opinion) best resulting tracks – it’s a long list, so please read on:
