First Friday Playlist: What’s Playing At Marketing Press

WordPress Development Playlist AprilWelcome to May. Spring is officially here and we kick off the month at high speed with two great festive days: Cinco de Mayo and The Kentucky Derby.

So, it should go without saying all tracks were inspired by a Mexican style of music, Mexico, Horse Racing or Derby Day itself. (I know, it’s sort of a weird combo, but were a WordPress design company, so the unexpected should be somewhat expected.

These tracks are all over the place and just a pleasure to listen to at a high volume. We hope you enjoy these songs as much as we do!
