Our New, Free Compilation Comes Out Thursday!

With a slightly different approach than previous iterations of our yearly compilation, Year 5 is complete and will come out on July thirteenth, Thursday. In order to highlight the change, it doesn’t continue the Melocules – literally little music – series.

Lopez’s Playlist of 2012

Hello viewers, it’s Lopez here with some of my most replayed tracks of the year. The more and more I personally see top 10 list the more I get overwhelmed and I never get a shot to check out all the entire albums.
