Straight Outa NYC.


Sean Holland is part of the Coco Machete crew alongside Brennan Green, and Danny Wang.

Coco Machete Records began in 2002 as vehicle for one record that didnt seem to fit anywhere else. They're a mish mash label in that they put out tunes that go against the grain and are from a variety of genres - a very New York combination of sounds intended to make you sway, dance, rock and pop - House Music to Hip Hop, Punk Rock to Soul are the foundations on which Coco Machete is built.


Sean says about his style:

"I like to change the rhythm up, I don’t like it to be 4/4 all the time, I like a lot of hip-hop, I like a lot of reggae. As long as it’s going to work the crowd out and everybody has a good time I’ll play it".


This mix epitomises that quote. His mix style is deep, a little dirty & interspersed with the type of jackin acapella's that scream: NEW YORK CITY from the rooftops.


Download Sean Hollands 'Are You Awake' mix here.


Incidentally, Coco Machete put out the super wicked & self-titled 'Land Shark' album last year. It wasn't received half as well as it should've been (it rocks), so if you're interested track it down and buy a copy here.
