Here’s another great example of how Nu Cumbia “will” successfully cross-over to the commercial mainstream market in due course.

It’s a remix by an artist Go Canny! which is a brand-new project from a little town on Italy’s east coast called Macerata.

The song is by a band called Amari and this track was submitted in a remix competition on bigstereo.net this cumbia remix is among the winners!

They say it is inspired by Uproot Andy & Bersa Discos/Dutty Artz stuff and is a kind of disco/cumbia rmx with a nod to the 80’s.

There’s also another remix that they submitted which is a dubstep re-work inspired by new Bristol Dubstep artists, especially Joker!

You all know how much I LOVE JOKER!!

Finally, I’ve included their Tropical re-work of the Kuduro track, ZE BULA!

Figura – Ze bula (Go Canny! rmx) by gocanny

this awesome cut got sent out by the peeps at TEJANO BOUNCE, who have a fine nose for this sorta dancefloor madness… This is a mash of ZE BULA and a DJ SHAUN D track which works like a charm.

DJ SHAUN D – ALIEN SPACESHIP (TEENAGE WOLF BAILE EDIT)

Vince & I received some goodies from Akwaaba Music and man we felt so spoilt that we both immediately thought of doing a Kuduro mix!

So we agreed that I would do a Kuduro mix for our blog and Fairtilizer and Vince’s Kuduro mix would do it’s rounds to all our blogger friends as the official Generation Bass Kuduro mix.

I have no idea what Vince has come up with but man it’d be funny if we’ve used the same tracks.

I put this together very quickly yesterday afternoon on my Pionner CDJ’s, so it’s a one-cut, first take and improvised 60 minute mix of KUDURO heaven.  It’s a rough & ready LIVE recording, so mind any mistakes

Some tracks are from Akwaaba Music release which you can buy here at i-tunes and also from other labels, some old and some new.  But NO Buraka Som Sistema tracks cause I’ve already murdered all the ones I’ve had.

Think of this as a transitional mix for my proper Kuduro mix later this year.

I uploaded it last night on Fairtilizer and it has already managed to acquire prestigious chart placings at the time of writing:

No.1 World Music Chart

No. 2 Funk Chart

No. 12  on the All Genres Chart

As I’ve said before, I’m not really sure what value chart placings represent on Fairtilizer save to say somebody likes the music but apart from that I’m sure it does NOT mean that it’s mega-brilliant or is in fact the best thing since sliced bread
