solipsistic NATION No. 40: Reggaeton

So here’s the deal. As much as I love electronic music, I don’t love all electronic music. I’m not crazy about House and I’m not overly fond of Electroclash. Despite my preferences, the theme of solipsistic NATION is that I play the best all genres of electronic music I have to set aside my prejudices and play for you what I consider the finest songs from all the many, many forms of electronic music.

As if that wasn’t a daunting task, because solipsistic NATION is a podcast and not a radio program, I can only play podsafe music. That is to say, I can only play music that is licensed to play on a podcast so I don’t have the RIAA, BMI and ASCAP coming after me. So that means I can’t just dig into my CD collection and play whatever rocks my boat. It means I have to be a member of various promotional services that offer podsafe music, or contact indie artists I find on MySpace, or contact music labels to seek their permission to play songs from their roster of artists on solipsistic NATION.

Which brings us to today’s show.

Today’s show features reggaeton. I’m not a big fan of reggaeton but that’s not important. As the host of solipsistic NATION it is my duty to not only play you the very best of reggaeton, but the very best podsafe reggaeton. And I think you’ll find all the songs on today’s show are fantastic!

Next week we go into a completely different direciton: one hour of blistering noise!
