Wax Pick: N.A.S.A. – The Spirit Of Apollo

N.A.S.A. exists as a collaborative between DJ’s Squeak E. Clean and Brazil’s DJ Zegan, from North America and South America respectively (hence the name, N.A.S.A.). From there, the two dance club aficionados put together a dream team of artists to work with including George Clinton, John Frusciante (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Lykke Li, Karen O. (Yeah, Yeah, Yeah’s), Kanye West, M.I.A., Santogold and more. When I saw the lineup I thought that this album could be 2009′s Version, producer Mark Ronson’s album featuring an all star cast from back in 2007. The biggest difference is found in that N.A.S.A.’s debut LP is loaded with original content, rather than creative covers.

The Spirit Of Apollo offers quite a few tracks that will definitely be heard in clubs around the world, and releases just in time to build momentum heading into Spring and Summer, when listeners find themselves itching for fun and bouncy hits.
