Dividing time between the Big Apple and the Magic City, Team Rojas have a knack for taking each city's nightlife characteristics and meshing them into dancefloor gold -- New York's foward-thinking mentality with Miami's raw grittiness. Compromised by EDG4R (Edgar Rojas) and Stravinsky (Erick Rojas) -- they are surprisingly not related -- the duo comes together to make people dance, simple as that.

For the Wake Up mix they've create for Percussion Lab, old school funk and disco come gets mixed with progressive house. The combination is stellar and thoroughly enjoyable. Click here to download the mix.

We aren't always sure when the duo is in town, but they spun at Vagabond last week for the Of Montreal afterparty, so perhaps there is another guest set coming soon.

After the jump, a video bonus with an interview the duo did for 'Sup Magazine.
