Early Influences and Musical Beginnings

Pedro Lopez and Olga Noperi Lopez, MixLab’s parents, introduced him to regional Mexican music early on. The rhythmic beats of cumbias and corridos at family gatherings drew him to legends like Los Tigres Del Norte, Fito Olivares, and Ramon Ayala. These early years in south Tucson laid the foundation for MixLab’s DJing journey, starting at just ten years old.

A Unique Fusion of Sounds

MixLab’s passion for music led him to new territories. The beats of hip hop and the melodies of RnB began to influence his style. This led to a unique fusion that became his signature sound. His La Yaquesita remix showcases this blend, where Mexican culture resonates powerfully.

This remix combines the traditional “yaquesita” rhythm with modern hip-hop beats and an accordion’s soulful melody. It reflects the richness of his heritage and his innovative approach to music.
