Lysergic weather front top-loaded via betamax's hippocampus trapdoor melding Catto's studio into a rainbow of textures, formless places, and emotional sonics awash with resonant poly-rhythms. Champagne Dub is a mission in space-dub whose "crew" took a few too many wrong turns. "We are here to bring raw metamorphic rockrituals that escaped our minds." Mr. Noodles, the Peruvian Performance artist cuts an uncomfortable figure in the recording studio. Kinetic energy flowing from a spring of mysteriously paranoid fits of spontaneous movement, Noodles is vulnerable and dangerous. Cryptic words are spunked from the subconscious and lie scattered across the band's rhythmic engine-room. Ruth Goller's bass tones geometrically tumble over the cluttered floor of Betamax's dirty drums and percussion. Turn to Ed Briggs, the medieval sound scientist, convulsing in the corner as his unreliable, self-assembled electronics drain the remaining energy from what seems to be a living but barely-live power source, spewing their sonic debris at the spinning wheels of tape delay.

Dengue Dengue Dengue! is an audiovisual tropical bass duo formed in mid 2010 in Lima, Peru, by Felipe Salmon and Rafael Pereira, who had already worked together on other projects, including the Peruvian Colectivo Auxiliar. Dengue Dengue Dengue! caught on immediately, with the pair's impeccable visual show and striking masks accompanying remixes, mash-ups of the duo's own tracks with old cumbias, and cult cumbia themes modified to fit electronic versions. In early 2011 the duo began to publish their first productions to widespread acclaim on blogs around the globe. They soon shared stages with such performers as Mad Professor, Bomba Estéreo, Manu Chao, and Calle 13, and also had the honor of playing with legendary Peruvian cumbia groups such as Los Shapis and Los Destellos. Along with the Colectivo Auxiliar, they started producing the TOMA! parties, helping to consolidate the growing and vibrant tropical movement in Lima by inviting musicians and DJs to share sounds and experiences. In 2012, the duo performed at NOVA Contemporary Culture Festival in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and the Iberoamerican Design Biennal in Madrid, Spain, and released their debut album, La Alianza Profana, now available as an LP reissue.
