Through October, I'll do #freestober, posting one of my favourite electro/latin/bass freestyle track each day.
The selection will be ordered by year, starting from early 80's, up to post-2000.
It won't be the ultimate best of the genre, just a selection according to my taste and the number of days.

There's a long discussion of Jacob's Ladder, then in the second half I pitch a new movie idea in the same genre
