ZZK MIXTAPE VOL 8

Now available! Free download!

ZZK Mixtape Vol. 8 – Lagartijeando “Furia Tehuelche”

The fury here is both Tehuelche and the heavy bass that runs through a Lagartijeando cumbia. These are seriously intense rhythms for explosive dancefloors, from Mexico to the bottom of Argentina. This mixtape is a sneak peak of Lagartijeando’s latest ZZK EP, Neobailongo, available now on vinyl and soon for digital download.

Lagartijeando comes from Dolores, a small town on the outskirts of Buenos Aires province. This mixtape is dedicated to the original people of his hometown, the Tehuelche, who burnt the entire place down in the 19th century. With the fiercest courage and violent conviction they fought to the death for freedom.

DJ KOX TORTUGA

Covered him briefly on last week’s Sexxy Saturday Cumbia post too.

He is the host of Dubtronik Radio, former member of KOXMOZ and our good mate Juan Data did a more extensive post on him recently which you can read at his HARD DATA BLOG.

In the past couple of years, DJ Kox Tortuga has also started exploring cumbia and blending it into his trademark cosmic-dub sound (some of his unreleased cumbia remixes can be heard in Juan Data’s megamixes).

Recently he was featured in the Agrupación Mamanis remix-tribute album with a remix of the Cucumelo song.

Here’s a long DJ set of his where he mixes cumbia and dub, it’s over an hour long and it’s called Sonido En Motado.

Download Here

Also here’s a new cumbia track he sent to me last week, it’s a DEMO but grab it for free download:

I’m sure it’s Colombian stuff from the 70’s?

I’ve been dying to share this one with you all and now it’s finally here

This is the new ZZK release, one of our most favourite labels DAT EVA EXISTED…lol

There’s Reggaeton, Nu Cumbia and Tropical vybz all over this release, very HOTTTT!! or as I was quoted on the promo…”AMAZING!

Now, I”ll hand you over to more capable hands, ZZK’s head honcho Grant:

ZZK RECORDS UNITES CONTINENTS WITH LATEST EP – Poirier’s Las Americas V.1 drops on February 16 2010.

BUENOS AIRES, ARG. (Feb. 8, 2010) – “Las Americas V.1,” the latest EP from Buenos Aires-based record label ZZK RECORDS is set for digital release next Tuesday, February 16.

Produced by Poirier, a DJ/producer from Montreal, “Las Americas” features a reggaeton-inspired track with vocals by Boogat.

The album, which also includes remixes from Uproot Andy, El Remolon, Lagartijeando, and Douster, is sure to unite Montreal and Buenos Aires as hermanos in music.

You know I’ve been doing a great disservice to my homie JUAN DATA from the HARD DATA blog because he’s been writing all this incredible stuff about Cumbia.

Also recently he just gave away a brilliant new Cumbia remix of his and we have not said a word about it until now.

Sorry Juan, I have been reading all the great shit you’ve been writing about and listened to your great new remix, which I love to bits.

Here’s what Don Juan said about his new remix:

PLUS DOWNLOAD A FREE ANARKIA TROPIKAL ALBUM:

Here

This is “KUMBIA” from CHILE and Don Juan said this about it:

Now Chilean cumbia in general, and Chilean neo-cumbia in particular, are a complete mystery to me.  Of course I’m familiar with Chilean cumbia hero Chico Trujillo and a few others here and there, and it’s also undeniable the influence of Argentinean cumbia (and cumbia villera) on the other side of the Andes.

We also know about German neo-cumbia pioneer Señor Coconut who made his first experiments with the genre Chile.  And we know that Chile has arguably the richest Spanish hip-hop scene in the continent (my favorite MC and my favorite DJ are Chilean: Anita Tijoux and DJ Raff, respectively).

Now if we were to put all those ingredients together in a blender, the result should be a flourishing Chilean neo-cumbia scene comparable to the Argentinean, Mexican or Colombian.  But if that in fact exists, I have yet to find it.

So far, I’m happy to find Anarkia Tropikal with their goofy lo-fi rebellious cumbias that remind me at times of Mexico’s El Gran Silencio and Argentina’s Todos Tus Muertos or Bersuit but take it to unexpected extremes indulging into some anxiety-inducing trash-metal and hardcore-techno moments.

There are no cool breaks to sample and no catchy tunes to play at the parties, so my DJ interest in this album is almost inexistent, but it does make me laugh at times when I listen to it (clever moments like “Bachelet rhymes with Pinochet”), especially in the skits.

Ideal as background music to have while reading The Clinic.

So that should be enough to keep you going and if you have not done so already, also check out his Cumbia mixtapes:

Zzk’s Mash up king, VILLA DIAMANTE, finishes a great year that he’s had with 4 new mash up tracks!

He’s been a huge influence on me ever since I first heard his mash ups cause he’s in a league of his own and is totally unique in what he does and of course some of the results are just OUTSTANDING.

Man, we very much look forward to what he has in store for us in 2010 and thanks bro’ for all the great stuff you dropped in 2009!

To download, you’ll have to pay a visit to his Soundcloud page and be quick cause Sound(GIVE US YER FUCKIN’ MONEY)cloud put a limit on downloads at 100 unless you have a professional account at a costly monthly sum!!!

Latest tracks by villadiamantezzk

LA SUPER CUMBIA FUTURISTA is essentially a Mexican phenomenon with some Argentine influence and of course shades of Colombian!!!!!

Bands like Afrodita, Sonido Desconcido, Sonido Changorama and others are leading this nu cumbia phenomenon.  What distinguishes it from the Argentine Digital Cumbia phenomenon is a little quirkyness combined with a pop sensibility akin to the B52’s and others of that ilk.  It is less dependant upon hip hop and cumbia villera.

So here’s a little mix I dropped yesterday, Christmas Eve, which takes in some of the Mexican influence of Afrodita and Sonido Changorama but also combines it with some of the Argentine stuff like Doma Tornados, El Remelon and Binary Cumbia Orchestra together with a really more commercial pop cumbia sound courtesy of remixes of tracks by D3NrdRon and Amari!!!!  It also includes a cut or 2 by the Emayocutz guys.

It also comprises almost exclusively of bands that I’ve covered here on this blog over the past year, especially those that we were the first to introduce to the blogosphere world and so this is my thank you to them!!!!

I hope you enjoy it.

You known the drill, improvised, 1st take/1 cut on Pioneer CDJ’s 1000 MK II & 600 Mixer!!!

Be warned the NEXT post might just give you the fright of your life!!!!!
