   About CASAMENA

Blessings! I am a hip-hop artist, living in the Bay Area. I produce and remix house, hip-hop, and soul music. I've produced music for multi-platinum artists, your favorite underground mc's, and soul singers. I've also been DJing for over 20 years. I am primarily interested in sharing my art with you. If you are an artist, please feel free to email me with your page as I love hearing new music. I hope you will enjoy mine as well. I am also an MC, Poet, and a lover of the culture. My most recent solo work is "Hip-Hop Meditations" which you can find on Amazon, or iTunes or anywhere you buy good music. or you can just click on the image below...




I am currently working on several projects including the launch of a new label with house legend Osunlade(Yoruba Records).

Current recording projects:
Afro-Cuban Bata (hip-hop/house) Exploration
Michael Spiro and I are executive producing this baby with contributions from Djinji Brown, Mark deClive Lowe, DJ Spinna, Osunlade, Vinia Mojica, Wale Oyejide, myself and Latin Grammy winner, Lazaro Galarraga. This should be finished in the next 3 months.

Los Carniceros
A spanish rap album produced by brilliant talent and Bronx native, Fero-Navi. Here, he and I give you a cross between the Beatnuts, Eminem and the Neptunes, but in espanol. Chock full of club and radio songs with light hearted content that often touch on social and politial issues without being preechy, and we promise, no reggaeton. This one should be finished in July 2008

A certain hip-hop legend's solo debut
Enough with the cameos and endless soulful, jazz inspired vocal lines and hooks. It's her turn, and gotdang it, we been waitin!! More on this soon.

Soulful and Deep House EP for Yoruba Records
I expect to have this done by the end of August of 2008

Ocha Records
A music label brought to you by Osunlade and myself. 'cause there is way to much good music out there that needs to be heard.
Visit our myspace page.

My favorite 12" on Yoruba Records

Let The Record Play
I am very proud of this accomplishment, because of the reputation Yoruba has as a dance label. They have always put out quality, and now here I am with the only remix on this 12" of Frank-I's "Let The Record Play".

Here are snippets:
A SIDE - Original Mix (Osunlade)
B SIDE - CASAMENA "Living Room Remix"

This single is now available on traxsource.com and dancetracksdigital.com: (click here)

My latest single is available exclusively on traxsource.com:

Tea Party Music & Manchildblack invite you to the
mecca of global soul culture, Libation!

On Thursday, June 19th, the bi-monthly event that Time
Out New York hails as a "full-on throwdown", will
return to its new home, NYC hotspot Sullivan Room, to
bring you the true global soul experience.
Resident DJ
Ian Friday will share the turntables with special
guest, acclaimed dj, producer, remixer Carlos Mena
(Ocha Records).
If that weren't enough, vocalist
Tamara Wellons will be there to raise the roof when
she performs her dance floor fillers "Like Rain" and
"Oh Well".


The next Libation will feature live painting by some of NYC's
emerging visual artists.
Also, expect the electrifying
dance collective, Afro Mosaic Soul, to wreck havoc on
the dance floor as Libation proves that Thursday is the
new Friday!

Arrive early for 2 for 1 drinks from 10pm-11pm.
