N.A.S.A. (North America South America) is an international collective of musicians spanning a wide spectrum of musical genres, centered around Squeak E. Clean (Sam Spiegel) and DJ Zegon (Ze Gonzales). Sam and Ze met in April of 2003 at a friend’s studio and began making music together the following day.

At first they sampled rare Brazilian records from the 60’s and 70’s to make tracks. However, what started as two crate diggers making music for the fun of it soon developed into something much bigger. Having forged a strong friendship through their passion for music, Sam and Ze decided to make a record with all of their heroes and favorite musicians.

The idea was to bring people from different worlds together through their shared inspiration and love of music. Thus N.A.S.A. was born, with crazy collaborations like Ol’ Dirty Bastard (Wu-Tang Clan), Karen O (Yeah Yeah Yeahs), and Fatlip (Pharcyde) on one track, David Byrne (Talking Heads), Chali 2na (Jurassic 5), and Gift Of Gab (Blackalicious) on another, and even the unlikely pairing of Tom Waits and Kool Keith.

Soon Sam and Ze realized they could expand the concept to encompass an entire record. The idea is to ignore all of the boundaries and borders that are in place to keep people divided, such as musical genre, race, politics, geography, language, etc.

good or bad, gay or not, hipster or cool..those are all just opinions, what everybody must agree on is that the sheer number of diverse artists working with N.A.S.A. is just amazing! John Frusciante(solo carreer and RHCP), M.I.A., Kanye, Santigold, Lykke Li, Cool Kids, Nick Zinner(yeah yeah yeahs), Karen-O(yeah yeah yeahs), Steve Aoki, E40, Amanda Blank, Spank Rock, RZA(Wu Tang)..and that's only part of the list, pretty damn impressive if you ask me!
