Ready Mix Records celebrates 10 years in the making with the launch of the exclusive ALREADY MIXED compilation series with none other than native New Yorker / Montreal transplant; Steven Caicedo on Volume 1. This world traveller started his artistic career almost by chance; after co-workers in the music biz pushed, prodded, poked, and finally convinced the then 19 year-old to open for the likes of Basement Jaxx, Fatboy Slim, Moby, and even Lenny Kravitz in his native NYC. Soon after, he hooked up with the creators of ProtonRadio.com and was instrumental in launching the site. Bringing the little known internet-based radio concept to the gatekeepers of the scene. Now Proton has evolved to be the gold-standard of artist and label development on the web, with many accolades and a core fan-base of over 250,000 subscribers from all around the world! After a chance meeting, Steven hooked up with Montreal's BiG AL and together, they launched the Proton Sessions concept at the world-renowned Stereo Nightclub in 2001, subsequently falling in love with Montreals rich culture and vibrant nightlife scene. As Steven puts it, "Montreal is the NEW - New York"! Caicedo takes us on a very personal sonic journey, gliding between the deep, tech with accents of progressive house sounds; handpicking his favorite tunes from the decade-long Ready Mix catalog that continue to resonate in his heart. From his edit of Stan Kolev's 'Routts', Daniel Kyo's Remix of 'Get There' and Kruse & Nuernberg's remix of Evren Ulusoy's - 'Bachelor Party'; to Lemon Popsicle's wicked remix of label boss BiG AL's Soul Collective project, in addition to his new role as producer and remixer alongside fellow collaborator Ellroy; paying homage to the classic Yvel & Tristan feat Chriss of the Quasar's 'A Miracle Man', he effortlessly weaves a tapestry of rhythm and sound like only he can! So sit back, relax, and enjoy our decade-long journey into the ever evolving Ready Mix sound! **Available in mixed & unmixed formats.
