Esteban Carracas – Price of a Pint Recordings – Podcast 1
Glasgow house label Price of a Pint Recordings was established in Summer 2009 primarily to release the output of Glasgow based producer and Dj Esteban Carracas. The mysterious Esteban originally hails from LA and came to our slightly less sunny shores in 1989 bringing with him a love of hip hop. He then discovered the sounds of early jungle and drum n bass before returning to the lower BPMs and diving head first into the world of breaks and house.
After successful releases on Flatpack Traxx, Lingo and Guesthouse, it seemed the logical step to launch his own imprint. With just two releases under it’s belt, it’s shaping up to be a fine label that sits well alongside other more established Glasgow institutions.
So this brings us to the label’s first podcast. Taking in the label’s ideology of “as long as it’s funky, we’re digging it”, Esteban steps behind the turntables and delivers a 75 minute mix that spans various genres while retaining a groove throughout.
