For our second Music Mix episode, our own Hector Castro (FKA Victor) presents another uninterrupted hour of another rendition of "Fronterizo Pop: 90's Mix y otras delicias
In his own words:
"My DJ mix is another rendition of Fronterizo Pop where I mix spanish speaking songs with others that define a genre of a particular pop era. In this instance, I dive into my 90s mix. Though I was born in the 2000s, I feel that my first formative years were surrounded by the remnants of such an impactful decade. Even in my 20s, I feel I have embraced that wave and what better way than capturing it through the records I've collected this past decade. Here I present my Fronterizo POP 90s mix, or atleast what I interpret as such."

Para nuestro segundo episodio de Music Mix, nuestro propio Héctor Castro (FKA Victor) presenta otra hora ininterrumpida de otra interpretación de "Fronterizo Pop: 90's Mix y otras delicias
En sus propias palabras:
"Mi DJ mix es otra interpretación de Fronterizo Pop donde mezclo canciones en español con otras que definen un género de una era pop en particular. En este caso, me sumerjo en mi mezcla de los 90. Aunque nací en los años 2000, siento que mis primeros años de formación estuvieron rodeados de los restos de una década tan impactante. Incluso a mis 20 años, siento que he abrazado esa ola y qué mejor manera que capturarla a través de los discos que he recopilado durante la última década. Aquí presento mi Fronterizo POP 90s mix, o al menos lo que interpreto como tal".
