About 2 years ago Motown released its Motown Remixed CD. The project took classic Motown hits and remixed them using some of the best beat makers in the hip-hop and rap music business today.

That project introduced many in the hip-hop and rap music arena to the classic sounds of Motown and a much appreciated time in music history – The Motown era.

Now comes the release of Motown Remixed Volume 2. The classic Motown Sound and modern Latin grooves are heard side-by-side at nightclubs and house parties every day in just about every corner of America.

Featuring 11 of Motown’s biggest and most popular hits remixed by 10 of the most creative studio forces in contemporary Latin music, Motown Remixed Volume 2 is the latest innovative exploration of the timeless, genre-smashing nature of Motown’s greatest artists and songs.

The compilations ‘Latin Flavor’ is accomplished thru a great mix of contemporary Latin styles mixed with Latin House, Reggaeton and hip hop beats.

Motown Remixed Volume 2 executive producer Rich Isaacson says: “The Motown Remixed Volume 2 project was an amazing opportunity for some of the most talented producers in Latin Music to pay homage to the legendary Motown artists they each chose to remix. All I had to do was merely mention that each producer had the opportunity to work with these classic recordings and the response was the same for everyone; ‘Are you kidding?!’ The respect for the Motown sound is profound in the Latin Music community.”
