Typically we like to avoid discussing the labels and PR firms so that the music speaks for itself, but today we’re paying tribute to some lovable locals. Since 2009 Press Junkie PR has been on a revered mission to represent the under-represented in the Lone Star State, spreading the word about a ton of eclectic KUTX favorites like Grupo Fantasma, Gina Chavez, Brownout, Hard Proof, Superfónicos and much, much more. This Saturday Press Junkie PR celebrates ten years of outstanding music with a free showcase this Saturday night at Stubb’s, featuring DJ Vanessa La Bestia, Kelly Hafner, Frederico7 and Latin Grammy-nominated producer/turntablist/DJ El Dusty.
You can get a better feel for Corpus Christi’s Dusty Oliveira and his innovative nu-cumbia blend of classic, modern, Latin, Caribbean, and urban styles in his My KUTX session and previous Song of the Day but for now, beat the heat by turning up your own core temperature with “Cumbia Persignada”!
