"Kinkysweet, the label that produces the Frequent Flyer compilations among others, says, "...for those... who still have a passion for dance music, but whose lives don't necessarily include late night clubbing." I couldn't agree more. I used to go to "Raves" and was into bangin' Techno etc. but as I've gotten older, my tastes have changed. Kinkysweet sets an older & more "sophisticated" tone for this and other compilations and/or DJ mixes. This is more a comment on the series as a whole, as opposed to specifically "Buenos Aires". (Although, "Frequent Flyer: Buenos Aires" is very good.) So far the series is pretty much in the Deep House and Downtempo vibes, usually Disc 1 is mellower and the second disc picks up the pace. Anyway, the whole point is that these CD's are meant to be listened to at a coctail party, BBQ, siting by the pool on vacation reading a trashy novel, or just driving.
I engineer live music at a brewery and while the band sets up, or during set breaks, most often people ask me what I'm playing. Usually it's something from the Frequent Flyer series..."
