Once upon a time I gave Philippe Cohen Solal (of Gotan Project ) a few CDs of experiments with the Colombian rhythm of Cumbia, which I had sourced from travels in Mexico, myspace, blogs, or directly from producers and DJs in Tijuana, Mexico City, Monterrey, Bogota and Buenos Aires. I figured someone who had very successfully innovated with Tango, would be interested in another similar movement going on with Cumbia. In fact I was so excited about this new twist on cumbia, that in 2008 I started a project called [...]

La Cofradía de los Corazones Solitarios es una super banda latinoamericana que empieza en México, hace una escala en Colombia y aterriza con fuerza en Argentina. O que es lo mismo decir que está formada por la rapera Niña Dioz (una de las grandes revelaciones de la nueva escuela hip-hop mexicana); la colombiana Li Saumet (voz de Bomba Estéreo ) y los productores argentinos de cumbia digital El Remolón y Villa Diamante . La premisa de ellos es simple: lo suyo es hacer temas para "cantarle a los amores prohibidos [...]
Buenos Aires-based DJ and producer, Un Mono Azul, got his start in the Mendoza "tropitech" (he calls it tropitech, I call it electropical) scene and since then has produced a lot of intriguing and expertly mixed and textured music employing a variety of genres that you might not expect to work well together. But Un Mono Azul makes them work, and you can hear for yourself in his recent compilation, Arca, which he describes as "14 of his remixes, edits, mash ups, and other accidents" and as "a way to rescue his little mutants from the end of this era, [...]
It's no secret El Remolon (Andres Schteingart) is our favorite crewmember from ZZK Records, his chromatic vision makes distinct catchy beats and that's how we like our cumbia. We described his last release Pibe Cosmo as "a journey throughout the American continent" and have deeply enjoyed his B-Sides and Mixtapes, but it's time for a new proper release, the much-anticipated Pangeatico EP . From one spin alone, this sounds as bouncy as one would expect, and energetic enough to correlate it with these mornings of futbol. The 6-track EP features Fantasma and Boogat, and Fonograma favorite Lido [...]
Pastorns sommarmix-resa tar oss hela jorden runt och nu har vi landat i Buenos Aires, den digitala cumbians hemland. Det är ingen slump. Pastorn skakade hand och lärde känna större delen av ZZK Records artistuppställning, och däribland den lågmälde men högintensive El Remolón, i förra veckan när de kom och hälsade på i Malmö. En vänskap uppstod, trots att ingen av oss var naken. Nu har ZZK släppt sitt nionde mixtape och det har den här gången blivit El Remolóns tur att guida oss igenom sommaren, nu till digitala cumbiarytmer. Det är gött, riktigt gött. [...]
This time it's ZZK 's El Remelón who's mixing it up in the newest ZZK Mixtape! It gives the listener a taste of what's coming in El Remelón's next EP and album, which is being released later this year. This is what ZZK says about his mixtape: "El Remelón has us dancing to his trademark slow cumbias, later guiding us along new electro reggaetons that defy the forces of gravity & finally leading us to his new dubsteps & latin kuduros with mega bass…all without losing his hypnotic & groovy [...]

Alcides - " Violeta " (El Remolon Remix) Track taken from Pibe Cosmo B-Sides , available for free download over at ZZK .
Before the Fall comes and eclipses our Summer sense of slink and suave, the Dutty Artz family has dropped the first in a series of digital-only releases. This one from Argentinian singer "La Yegros," brings together Cumbia, Hip-Hop and darbouka percussion into a late-night burner, sweating and grinding any time of the year. Available below is the original from the self-titiled EP, and available from the purchase are remixes from Dutty Artz label-heads DJ/Rupture and Matt Shadetek , minimal/electro producer El Remolon , and Bueno Aires IDM producer Marcelo Fabian .

______________________________ ______________________________ _______ KATY. Mr. Racoon (Delhotel, Mexico) " Katy brings the very best of alternative pop, if that musical field exists at all. The album moves on fluently, in a revelatory phase that unfolds itself with much sympathy, one of the first high quality albums of the year." MP3: "Ferry 3" Review [...]
You know El Remolon is my favorite guy from ZZK Records, his stellar Pibe Cosmo ( reviewed here ) only gets better after recurring spins, according to the Argentinean label's website , he will be releasing a free B-Side made of remixes and mashups. Get a taste of what's to come, four tracks available for download. Among them, Animal Collective's awesome single "My Girls", and a fantastic take on "Violeta" by Violeta. Also, it's great to see the reggaeton beat back on the right hands. ♫♫♫ "My Girls" - [...]

A Lyon, quelques dates de concerts à noter dans les agendas. TECHNO LEGEND from DETROIT Kevin Saunderson - Vendredi 4 Avril, pour cet 57° Echo Sonore . Un truc à savoir. Kevin Saunderson + Juan Atkins + Derrick May = la sainte trinité de la techno made in Detroit. Inratable, immanquable, légendaire. Espérons qu'il sera en forme pour un mix de 3 hres, au moins. Je dis ça j'en sais rien. D'ici là quelques mix de Kevin Sanderson . Du grand art [...]
