Sampler Series Mix #1: Music from Greece & Italy + Beats

I recently traveled to Greece and Italy and while there I managed to pick up some great vintage records and CDs, experimented and dropped some of my own beats on some select tracks and mix them all up in one 45 minute “samplecast” mix.

This is the 1st of a series of samplecast mixes that I’ll be doing, exploring samples of music from other countries and cultures from all around the globe. After all, it’s a large world out there.
