Soundtrack: Green at the Core / La Banda Sonora del Corazón Verde

Each month, Cyclovia Remix brings you a specially-curated Route Soundtrack. Stream it while you explore the heart of central Tucson, visiting some of its greenest and most vibrant patrons like the Tucson Botanical Gardens, Watershed Management Group and the Yume Japanese Gardens.
We’re so grateful to local DJ and music aficionado Ernesto Vega (AKA DJ E_Rupt) for distilling some of his vast music knowledge into January’s ecclectic mix for cruising the route.

Cada mes, Cyclovia Remix te trae una banda sonora de la ruta, especialmente comisariada por una artista local. Reproducirla mientras explora el Corazón Verde del centro de Tucson, visitando algunos de sus patrocinadores más verdes y vibrantes como los Jardines Botánicos de Tucson, Watershed Management Group y los Jardines Japoneses de Yume. Estamos muy agradecidos con el DJ local y aficionado a la música Ernesto Vega (AKA DJ E_Rupt) por destilar parte de su vasto conocimiento musical en esta ecléctica mezcla de enero—perfecto para recorrer la ruta.

Ernesto (Ernie) Vega has been a professional DJ since 2007. Career highlights include performing at numerous Halloween and NYE events, a four year stint in LA, and opening for artists such as Active Child, Prayers, Drab Majesty, Lawrence Rothman, and being Big Freedia's DJ.
DJ_Erupt is also a new music connoisseur. You can check out his weekly album picks every Friday on Instagram: @e__rupt or tiktok: @e_rupt.

Lastly, Vega is a cyclist and bike commuter. He rides about 7 miles, 5 days a week on a matte black Retrospec Harper Single Speed. Riding through Tucson helped inspire this mix.
