"More of that cumbia heat! Their debut release having quickly evaporated, Cali's Bersa Discos label is back for round two with another limited press single (1,000 copies, no repress-o). This time they've got Buenos Aires young gunna DJ Negro at the helm, putting a new spin on some true Argentinian classics. Negro is a regular at the notorious club Zizek (recently spotted killing it with DJ/Rupture and others) but this 12" represents his 'official' debut. On the A-side, he sets things off proper with 'Andres Landero vs. The Roockie,' a tuff mash featuring screwed vocals from the cumbia legend and Luny beats. 'Lluvia' keeps more of a traditional cumbia sound, dubbed out in all the right places, while 'Mundo Querido' comes with hard raps over a dark and stormy beat that brings to mind 'This Is Why I'm Hot.' Meanwhile on the flip, Bersa label head Oro11's 'Pibes Walk Out' injects some Dirty South feel to the proceedings, dusting a little of Unk's 'Walk It Out' over 'Que Calor' by Pibes Chorros (arguably the biggest cumbia villera - 'gangster cumbia' - band ever). Alex Pasternak of much-hyped SF band Lemonade seals the deal with the midtempo bumper 'Pajaritón.'"

"Time for numero tres from our cumbia-loving Bay Area homies at Bersa Discos, and this time they've got Texas' DJ Panik and ZZK's Chancha via Circuito on board for the hottest set of tunes yet (no joke). Panik comes out guns blazing on lado A with nasty cumbia remixes of El General's 'Te Ves Bien Buena,' Unk's '2 Step' and Baby C's 'Do It Like This.' All these are surefire dancefloor detonators -- nothing syrupy this time out. No no - -that's left to CvC on the flip, who gets straight hypnotic with 'Cumbia Murguera' and then brings out the crickets for the ultra mellow (and yet strangely gun-clacking) 'Damas Gratis Dub.' Yes, Bersa Discos is truth."
