Underground Latin jazz crate-note mixes that move the floor
What En la Sala is
En la Sala is a tracklisted mix series by CLMDO — Latin jazz and jazz-funk from the underground crate. Not commercial hits. Every side comes with crate notes: what the record is, where it came from, and why it had to be next.
People dance. The room gets loud. The selection stays deep. This is for the floor — serious crate, moving bodies.
CLMDO is based in Isabela, Puerto Rico. (If you knew an older restaurant by a similar name, that chapter is closed; this is the music brand.)

Why crate notes matter
Without notes, a mix hides the crate. In a real room — party, late night, listening bar — people still want the sleeve story: who is on the date, what lane the cut sits in, why this track follows that one.
Crate notes let you hear the side, then read the box. Serious crate work, and the floor still moves. That is how En la Sala is built.
What lives on a side
Each side is a short, sequenced set with:
- a clear open and a peak that lifts the floor
- a tracklist you can follow
- crate notes written with the mix
- length on the sleeve (Lado 001 is about 23 minutes, 9 tracks)
The series starts at 001. More sides keep the same lane: underground Latin jazz / jazz-funk — never the commercial playlist.
Lado 001 — Murmullo
Lado 001 — Murmullo is the debut side. Live with stream/download and full crate notes: open Lado 001 — Murmullo.

Not commercial salsa bait
Mass salsa-dura / radio-hit sets chase the biggest floor with the most familiar titles.
En la Sala stays underground: Latin jazz and jazz-funk deep cuts, sequenced so the room moves and you can still hear why each record is there. Party, yes. Commercial playlist, no.
