After seeing the Fuerza Bruta performance, which can only be described as a melding of Cirque de Soleil, Blue Man group and a rave, I was inspired to spin a set for their pre-performance lounge at the request of a staff member. I felt that some lounge music with international influences would cultivate a sense of intrigue that would continue to build throughout the Fuerza Bruta experience.
