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!!!

VILLA DIAMANTE

Today M.S.7 will pay tribute to Zizek King of Cool, VILLA DIAMANTE.

Villa, is of course one of the key players in the Artist stable of Grant’s ZZK Records.

He released his EMPACHO DIGITAL album earlier this year which comprised of over 40 mash up tracks and was divided into 3 sections.

Section 1 was all about the mash ups played at ZZK’s club nights ZIZEK.

Section 2 was all about Dubstep.

Section 3 was all about Argentinian Rock.

You can still grab it all from HERE.

We did a 2 part interview with Villa at the time of the release which you can track back to HERE and HERE.

Villa’s mash ups, especially some of the more Dubstep sounding ones blew my mind when I first heard them and have had a big influence upon my style of dj’ing.

They were also the front runners of the newly emerged Global Ghettotech scene a couple of years back.  So for me, Villa has played a hugely instrumental part in the Global Ghettotech scene alongside people like Crookers, Daniel Haaksman, Edu K, Schlachthofbronx, Diplo, Switch and others.

So here’s 7 of my favourite Villa Diamante tracks to celebrate the influential role he has played in this scene thus far.

Villa Diamante – Daleduro vs Lady Tigra

Villa Diamante – Arcade vs Spankrock

Villa Diamante – Benga & De La Guetto feat Randy

Villa Diamante – Frikstailers vs Calle 13

Villa Diamante – Scuba vs Alexis & Fido

Villa Diamante – Surtek Collective vs Modeselector

Villa Diamante – Chancha Vía Circuito vs Lil Mama

From one of the best labels on the scene at the moment ZZK RECORDS, alongside BERSA DISCOS (there you go homie, Shawn, got it right this time) and MAD DECENT, and in their own words:

“After a long wait, the Fauna remix contest has ended and now we bring you 10 new remixes.

With over forty entries, the ZZK Crew had the tough task of choosing just ten. Fauna (Color_Kit and Catarsis) Chancha Via Circuito, El Remolón, Villa Diamante, El G, Nim and DJ Uter each chose their favorites to create La Manita de Fauna Remixes, an album with 10 tracks that can be downloaded for free from ZZK Records.

While Fauna are touring Europe on their Summer Tour 09 and have played at the Roskilde Festival in Denmark and will play Sfinks in Belgium, C/O POP in Germany, the ICA in Boston and gigs in Barcelona, Berlin, Amsterdam. The tracks chosen are from the south of Gran Buenos Aires to Mendoza, Mexico City, Tokyo and cities in the U.S.”.

VILLA DIAMANTE INTERVIEW PART 2

Villa Diamante is the genius mash up Producer from ZZK Records in Argentina and the Editor of the ZZK Records and ZIZEK Club blogs.  We continue with Part 2 of his interview with Generation Bass.

GB: What do you think of Cumbia Villera?

VD: I find it funny that I have to come to an American like Oro11 to tell me the most interesting thing about cumbia villera. I like the slow rhythms touched with those heavy and psychedelic keyboards.

GB: If you like Cumbia Villera, which artists would recommend?

VD: I am not a great specialist in Cumbia Villera, but Pablo Lescano with Damas Gratis or Pibes Chorros, are the some of the best artists in that scene that I can think of. 

GB: Can you tell us, if you can, what is the difference between Cumbia from Colombia and Cumbia from Argentina?

VD: Argentine cumbia has a lot of diferencies from cumbia villera, romantic cumbia, santafecina cumbia, cuarteto cordobes. It´s still Cumbia but with a drum and bass tempo and in that sense there are a lot of different types of cumbia. I don’t know if it is the same in Colombia.

GB: How do you see the future for Nueva Cumbia?

VD: I can’t predict what’s going to happen around the world but definitely in Buenos Aires, I can see the way the artists are going. What I like is how; elements of cumbia are being taken and mixed with music from other countries and genres. Realistically though, I don´t know if in years we will be calling this music cumbia anymore, its more, electronic Latin-contemporary music that I think ZZK is really working towards.

GB: Please give us your TOP 10 Cumbia records of all time.

VD: As I said before, I am more influenced by new cumbia than traditional sounds so this is a list of my top 10 new cumbia tracks.

Fauna – La Manita de Fauna
El Remolón – Pibe Cosmo
Marcelo Fabian – Beija Flor
Chancha Vía Circuito – Rodante
King Coya – Cumbias de Villa Donde
Sonido del Principe – Bersa Discos
Dick El Demasiado – No nos dejemos afeitar
Damas Gratis – Solo para entendidos
Sonido Martines – Chicha para el jetset
Zizek Sound Vol. 1 y Vol. 2

BACKGROUND & MUSICAL INFLUENCES

GB: How did you get into music, what are your musical influences?

VD: Since I was young I have been listening to music. Listening to anything from my dad’s old vinyl to the old school mix tapes my friends would make me. In terms of influences, it’s a mashup. My influences can be anything from the sonic Argentine rock of the 90’s to hip-hop, experimental music, bastard pop, techno, idm, drum and bass and hip hop Latino. Specific bands whose music I like would be Joy Division, The Ramones, Erland Oye, and LCD Soundsystem.

GB: Do you live for music?

VD: Since 4 years ago, it´s hard to live from the music in Argentina, but then if you live doing what you love, it’s the best thing that could happen to you.

GB: When you are not working on music, what sort of music do you listen to?

VD: Lately I have been listening a lot of Argentine rock from the 70s to the 90s. Since my English is really bad, I like to listen to music in my own language because I can completely understand the lyrics and use them to inspire me.

GB: Who you do you rate at the moment?

-DJ’s

VD: Daleduro, El G, Mugre, Zurita, Lucas Luisao y DJ Nim.

-Producers

VD: El Remolón, Black Mandingo, Marcelo Fabian, Daleduro,
Frikstailers, Modeselektor, Sonido del Principe, Chancha Vía
Circuito.

-Artists

VD: Fauna, Santogold, Surtek Collective, Tremor, Calle 13,
King Coya, Tego Calderón, Meneo.
and more more and more

GB: Your all-time favourite artist?

VD: In Argentina, Babasonicos is a band which formed at the beginning of the 90’s. They made me change the way I understood music talking about different artists, films or drugs, and it opened my mind to other ways of thinking. When I first listened to their CD Dopadromo I felt like I could understand what it was like to be very high when you’re only 15.

GB: Your all-time favourite song/piece of music?

VD: Pescado Rabio – Desatormentandonos /Artaud

GB: Your all-time favourite movie?

VD: I am a real fan of Jean Luc Godard, I could see his film “Yo te saludo, Maria” or “historia(s) del cine” thousands of times, but is too long and I can’t stand staring at the TV screen for hours!

GB: Your all-time favourite book?

VD: I don’t have a favourite book, but I have got a favourite author: Cesar Aira is an Argentine writer who tells his stories in a very particular way. He uses a non formal technique to express an unusual form of fiction.

GB: Your greatest influence – music or otherwise?

VD: I believe that the majority of concepts that I manage in music with Villa Diamante, come out from novels, essays, or press articles that I read.  Analysing marketing theories and watching how the markets move, similar to how the industry adjusts is a huge influence for me.

THE FUTURE

GB: What is next on your musical agenda?

VD: At the moment, we are developing ideas with the VJ resident of ZIZEK Club, Lucas DM, and a new audiovisual project which is very bastard pop. That makes me very happy, to work with other artists.

GB: I, for one love your Dubstep vibes on the mash ups you have done, can we expect more of this or even original tracks soon?

VD: I have been working with El Remolon on a couple of tracks, and always I want to produce my own tracks. For me, that‘s the next step, but for now I have too much work with ZIZEK Club and ZZK Records, it‘s hard to find time to produce, but it is definitely the next step, that’s for sure.

GB: Where do you see yourself in another 5 years time?

VD: In Buenos Aires, maybe writing a book or making a band, I wish I could sing!

GB: If there is one thing you would like to say to the world, what would it be?

VD: “We think we´re ready to live our best moments. You know?

But it is better if we are happy”. (Victoria Mil)

BLOGOSPHERE

GB: What is your favourite blog (wink, wink) and why?

VD: I am not going to say Generation Bass, because you already know I read it every single day and I download everything they upload. But I have more than 100 favourite blogs that I check every 15 days, to be up to date with the music that goes around.

My favourites are Taringa.net, Hypem.com because they concentrate on a lot of information. Generation Bass, Chrome Kids, Bassjam, Dutty Artz, Ghetto Bassquake, Cooliado, Mad Decent, Masala, Mudd Up, Mugre, Puritan Blister, Syntheticrocks, wayneandwax and unknown music are also a selection of my favourites.

“One day Daleduro came to me and said, listen to this… And a whole new cosmovision of dance forms became present with all those fat bass tones and a heavy rhythm style out of post-nuclear Jamaica. Dubstepism is getting closer to Latin America with some reggaeton folksteps brought down to Dubstep rythms.

The only contemporary music genre that I could see getting born, devoloping, and probably dying. All of this information that makes me in Buenos Aires try to understand a cultural movement that is developing on the dancefloors of London and all of these gigabytes of music was given to me by Daleduro, my best dealer”
