[MUSIC AND WINE Radio]

We've got a great month of music lined up for you with two major focal points:  our glamorous Christmas Formal (Dec. 19) featuring crowd favorite guest DJs Wendell Garcia (WAVE 89.1 FM's The Blue Room) and Mark Cali-Jentes (MyHOUSE), and our New Year's Masked Ball (Dec. 31) when we plan to blow the roof off Martinis like a champagne cork!

Till Saturday!

This week on [MUSIC AND WINE Radio] we bring you a very special guest set by turntable wizard Kristian Hernandez.

Growing up in Australia, Kristian first gained notice as a gifted DJ when he won the Australian DMC Championship in 1999.  Since then, he has toured the world rocking dancefloors in over 50 major cities, including Paris, London, and most recently New York Cit y, where he performed at the legendary Cielo.  Having collaborated with a long and thick list of artists from Jojo Flores and Miguel Migs to the Black Eyed Peas and Roger Sanchez, Kristian delivers a distinctly deep and soulful sound.  

Upon returning to Manila, Kristian has been busy building his Tuesday night dance party Passion at Amber Ultralounge in the Fort, and taking the helm of Move, the Friday night leg of M Cafe's M Sessions where this set was recorded live.

Catch me guesting at Passion this upcoming Tuesday December 1, and catch Kristian guesting at MUSIC AND WINE at Martinis on Saturday December 5.  No cover for both events.

And now... the beats

P.S. Special thanks once again to DJ Kevin Ruiz for helping make this episode possible.

Our [MUSIC AND WINE Radio] Episode 4 has just been published and is available for you to download. (Those of you subscribed to [MUSIC AND WINE Radio] with iTunes know that already because this latest podcast is in your iPod as we speak!)

A few words about this show in particular: it's a loungey set of deep house music from Chicago, New York and Jersey exclusively made with new soulful jazzy releases (out within the last year) showcasing the unique sound of the underground lounge scene in the three cities.

Special shout out to DJ Kevin Ruiz (NYC) for all his help in making this episode possible!

Thank you guys again for all the encouraging support! You continue to clobber our expectations by ranking [MUSIC AND WINE Radio] among the fastest growing podcast consistently every week since our launch with your downloads, your "subscriptions with iTunes" and by many of you recommending our internet music station to others.

This week we're giving you something else, something other than the deep house music you've heard in our earlier mixes, a true downtempo lounge set incorporating the worlds of smooth R&B and jazz with those of latin and parisian lounge music--a set that captures the early evening sound you hear at our MUSIC AND WINE parties.

This is a set recorded as well to commemorate the 37th anniversary of HABITAT, everyone's favorite art design gallery in Legaspi Village, Makati. The "H", as owner and Chief Designer Chris Lacson likes to call it, will open its doors and offer cocktails this Tuesday evening starting at 7pm.

This Saturday is the third week of MUSIC AND WINE's MICROBREW MONTH, we are featuring at Martinis San Diego-based Ballast Point Brewery and showcasing their award winning American handcrafted beers Calico Amber Ale and Yellowtail Pale Ale at promotional prices you won't find anywhere in town thanks to GLOBAL BEER EXCHANGE.

So enjoy this week's special set, see you at Martinis on Saturday night, and maybe even see you again on Tuesday evening at Habitat!

This Saturday at MUSIC AND WINE, it’s once again time for GREEN DRINKS, a monthly gathering of eco-conscious people and everyone interested in “green” things taking place in over 540 cities worldwide. Last month, GREEN DRINKS MANILA was held at MUSIC AND WINE for the first time and Lead Founder Bryan McClelland unveiled the Bamboosero, a bicycle made out of bamboos and ecologically assembled locally in the province. Even world champ MANNY PACQUIAO dropped by to show his support and have a beer!

Manny, Bryan and the Bamboosero

GREEN = GOOD
DRINKS = GOOD
GREEN DRINKS = GREAT

So enjoy the mix and we’ll see you on Saturday!
