Andres Lopez, the former Tucson All City Outfielder from Pueblo High School also known as DJ Mix Lab, was ranked #8 in the world in 2011 on djlist, just behind well known mixers such as DJ Jazzy Jeff, and Magic Mike of the 2 Live Crew. Inspired by the Nogales Little Leagues run to a 2014 World title, Lopez has now put together a special video tribute of the the teams run to the title. youtu.be/qrz-OvSeiWs As Lopez puts it, the production, is a fast paced documentary-like video, of music and news that pays tribute to the Nogales group of 12 and 13 year olds. I just wanted to do something special for the kids, said Lopez, I was a former baseball player too, and was inspired by their story. The video tribute on Nogales High is now on YouTube, and is expected to be a big hit, as was the case of one of his previous projects paying tribute to a Tucson-area team; Lopez, had a similar YouTube sensation, after putting together a video/music mix that documented the Sunnyside girls softball run to the Little League World Series. These kids coming out of Southern Arizona, it makes you and inspires you to do something special. -to remix a video for them to look at in the future and share that with their families, said Lopez, who points out that he has no ties to the team or Nogales. The current youtube tribute on the little league players from Santa Cruz county, also includes elements from Cesar Chavez and the Civil rights movement, and KVOA news clips on the border crisis in Nogales. It goes back to the Cesar Chavez days. It basically provides hope, not just for those kids, but, for any race. A future and hope for these kids to do better, said Lopez, It doesnt matter what color of skin you are, or what background you come from. You can do big things even if you come from Nogales, Arizona. DJ Mix Lab will be presenting the video to the Nogales Little League team soon, as a special gift.
