I LIKE IT LIKE THAT
This past May, Fania Records released the first remix collection I LIKE IT LIKE THAT, pairing up the hottest dance scene remixers with legendary tracks by Fania artists like Pete Rodriguez, Hctor Lavoe, Willie Coln and Rubn Blades. This album marks the first time the label has remixed its classics tracks, taking the Fania flavor up a notch. Released May 6, 2008.
Star tracks include Aaron Jerome's remix of Pete Rodriguez's “I like it Like That," Louie Vegas' EOL Remix of his uncle, Hctor Lavoe's, “Mi Gente," Bugz in the Attic's “Plstico," originally by Willie Coln and Rubn Blades, and Joe Claussell's “Aljate," originally by Hctor Lavoe.
“As an artist, it was a tall order to work with tracks that mean so much to Fania fans worldwide," says Louie Vega “I hope that we've been able to enhance the Fania catalog with our individual takes on each of these tunes."
