<div style="text-align: justify;"><span>Sunday on TheChillZone with your host ThePolarBear a tribute will be paid to a Mixposure Artist who has left his mortal coil on the earth to join the great ones in the universe of heavens. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span><br />Ron Pestana... was first and foremost a race car driver.... but his heart pumped rock and roll into his racing and some pretty amazing songs came out as a result. Ron wrote songs about racing from the drivers perspective.. serious rock tunes with a view to the world of racing that only precious few get to see. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span><br />In song and lyric Ron tells it like it is.. sometimes with tounge firmly planted in cheek hence the song "Last when you Crash" or the haunting and very sureal song "hot lap my ashes" He always told the truth about his life of racing... a truth that will ring in your ears like a weekend at a good loud stock car race at the local roundy round.... We will also feature a monologe from Ron's Racing and Music partner Mr Bill Bentley....</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span><br />As a fitting tribute to the man whom i was humbled to call a friend we wish to celebrate his life in music and racing... Please join me ThePolarBear for this special show starting at 8pm EST Sunday the 12th of 2012 on MixStreamRadio </span></div><p><span><br /><a href="http://www2.mixposure.com/Ron_Pestana_and_the_Pit_Crew/">http://www2.mixposure.com/Ron_Pestana_and_the_Pit_Crew/</a><br /><a href="http://www.concordmusicstudios.com/home.cfm">http://www.concordmusicstudios.com/home.cfm</a><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ron-Pestana-and-the-Pit-Crew/144579105556328">https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ron-Pestana-and-the-Pit-Crew/144579105556328</a></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Hi Everyone, </strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>I´ve just uploaded several of my Remixes to my Online Mixing and Mastering page here on Mixposure. </strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Remixes of songs by: Peter Gabriel, Snoop Dogg, Janis Joplin, Linkin Park, Scott Pilgrim vs The World, and Sheila Chandra. </strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>I´m giving my Peter Gabriel Remix of "Games Without Frontiers" as a Free Download here on Mixposure, so be sure to have a listen, and give it a rating, leave a comment, and download it, if you like it . It features my drumming skills, along with my arrangement, production, mixing, mastering, and remix skills. So, please have a listen. If you know the original vesion, I think you will really enjoy what I´ve done with it. The production is a bit like, if Phil Collins had produced Gabriel´s song. Also, feel free to check out my other tracks, and my new website as well. I just moved to a new server, and I´m still working on the site, and will be adding my Mixposure player on the Examples page very soon. </strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Hope you´re having a good weekend, and a great summer. </strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>All the best, </strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>OMM_DICARLO</strong></span></p>
