DJcity Launches Latin-Inspired ‘Puro Pari’ Edit Series
DJcity has teamed up with veteran Los Angeles DJ/producer Big Syphe to launch Puro Pari, an on-going series of exclusive Latin-inspired club tracks.
The phrase “puro pari,” which loosely translates to “turn up” in Spanish, was first used by Big Syphe and Eric D-Lux during their radio show on Power 106 in the early 2000s. It eventually took off and became a movement in Los Angeles.
Now, DJcity and Big Syphe have brought it back to life by enlisting a team of producers to make Latin-inspired remixes, bootlegs, and edits for club DJs. The tracks are available exclusively on DJcity’s record pool.
“Puro Pari isn’t just a movement or sound but a lifestyle,” Big Syphe says. “Mashing up cultures and genres is something I’ve always done. I’m very excited to bring that to DJcity because over the years I’ve seen them develop their movement to a lifestyle for DJs, introducing them to music from all parts of the world.”
Check out the first batch of tracks below and stay tuned for more.
