Cherman (a.k.a german de souza) is an Argentinian living in Barcelona who had been working on several projects under the radar, one of those projects is a blog called newtonlaspelotas; in where I found I great selection of cumbiastep/ downtempo/ mash ups made by him!

I had to admit one he has used of my favorite spanish singers La Mala Rodriguez in a clever way blending her with Sr coconut,and if you haven’t listened to her, she is one of the coolest mc’s from spain, even labeled in machete records  (I guess in the Toy Selectah era) then she went really mainstream..

People who started listening cumbia recently should know;  or perhaps haven’t noticed yet, (even if you are a  neo-cumbia lover!!) is that there’s a difference between cumbias (colombian, mexican, argentinian and venezuelan) and he does a special approach to cumbia on this cumbia-step from the cumbia villera point of view.

But what really sold me this mash up wasn’t a cumbia, in fact was something quite different; a mash-up using the amazing track let’s push things forward from  The streets‘ brilliant album original pirate material and blended it with against all odds from Chase and Status from from their More than A lot.

My APOCALYPTIC DUBSTEP MIX hits NUMERO UNO on FAIRTILIZER:

No. 1 -ALL GENRES CHART

No. 1 – DJ MIXES CHART

NO. 1 – REGGAE CHART

No. 1 – ELECTRONIC CHART

Really does not mean anything major, like I’m suddenly a Superstar DJ or anything like that…haa.haaaa BUT it’s really pleasing to be No.1 in anything…even if it’s only the egg & spoon race….haa.haaa..

It’s an appreciative gesture and so thanks so much FAIRTILIZER!

It’ll probably disappear from the chart by tomorrow but man, that’s life!
