Anthony Valadez should be no stranger to readers of this blog, or any Los Angelenos out there. He’s a DJ, producer and all around tastemaker. Just Visiting is his most recent album and a really beautiful piece of work inspired by his late night / early morning experiences in Los Angeles. Tapping into his vast network of relationships with awesome music makers, Valadez has pooled a great selection of talent to lace his downtempo beats, including Sonnymoon, Mar , Joya Mooi and Miles Bonny. As a DJ we’ve been used to Valadez’ razor sharp and eclectic  musical taste, but this album really demonstrates his producer-chops.The album is well-worth purchasing in its entirety, but my own personal highlights are Sunny Spot, Underwater ft. Mar and Asleep ft. Anna Wise of Sonnymoon.
