EASILY INFLUENCED BY "INFLUENCES"!!!
Darrell L. Lee | Jackson, MS | 09/13/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"DNA is the dynamic duo of producer DJ Pierandrea ("The Professor") and Argentinean producer Natalio Luis Mangalavite. These guys brilliantly mix together everything from tango to dub to minimal house to ethnic rhythms and drum and bass. Embellished with lush vocals on tracks like "Turkish Flamenco" and "Groovy De Janeiro" and an added ingredient of international flair as heard on "Bulgarian Cha Cha" and "No More Matungo Waino", DNA's Influences is guaranteed to "influence" you into getting that bottle of wine and letting go of your inhibitions."
Diverse, Eclectic.... DNA!

"If you love the Gotan Project as much as I do, YOU MUST check out RASA MUSIC's 'DNA INFLUENCES.' Everytime I listen to this album, it takes me to a magical place where tango meets the lounge lizard! Imagine the smooth sounds of a trendy lounge mixed with the exoticism of tango music and a little drum-n-bass.
For all those who don't know, DNA is DJ duet -- Rome-based producer DJ Pierandrea ("The Professor") and Argentinean producer Natalio Luis Mangalavite. These 2 always site their "influences" from a plethora of artists ranging from Antonio Carlos Jobim, Herbie Hancock, Frank Zappa to Kraftwerk -- With such a diverse group of influences, DNA purees them into a breezy, eclectic whirl of sound. At times the music uses piano and shuffling rhythms to give it a jazzy feel, at others the use of guitar and vocals are decidedly Latin. DJ skills and electronica wizardry play heavily into the mix giving the album a superb cutting edge flavor.
If the summer could be summed up into one album, it would be this one -- it is absolutely perfect for summer lounging.... as well as spas. Oh, and my fellow 'yoginis' will definitely love this too!"
Lounge for a Moment

"This CD struck a friend and I while exploring a bookstore. We couldn't help but be struck by the smootheness of the album as we made our way around. I was so amazed that I had to approach the cashier and ask if they controlled the sound system and who was playing. DNA's "Influences" definitely made an impression on the both of us as it had that different, should I say exotic, feel to it. The two DJs, one from Italy and the other from Argentina, definitely display their love for the genre here. Personally, I enjoy "Groovy de Janiero". It's a bit upbeat but remains apart of the Lounge scene. Enjoy!
