Artist: FAUNA
Title: La Manita De Fauna EP
Label: ZZK RECORDS (ARGENTINA)
Format: 12"
Price: $9.50
Catalog #: ZZK 004EP
"A ZZK Records EP from Mendozan beat makers and MCs Fauna, with instrumentals and exclusive remixes by Ghislain Poirier & Douster. Fauna is a duo of producers and MCs that represent the new hybrid 'Digital Cumbia' among the best. Their sound is autodefined as 'Cumbia from the Jungle' and is full of heavy bass and cracking treble. This EP showcases their dual MC style and features exclusive instrumental tracks and remixes."


Artist: EL REMOLON
Title: Pibe Cosmo EP
Label: ZZK RECORDS (ARGENTINA)
Format: 12"
Price: $10.00
Catalog #: ZZK 005EP
"El Remolón brings a global dance sensibility to digital cumbia and electroreggaeton cuts. With hypnotic beats influenced by everything from Colombian cumbia, cumbia villera (cumbia from the slums of Buenos Aires), and reggaetón to dub, IDM, and minimal techno, El Remolón cuts his own vision of electronica for global dance floors. His sound is laidback but heavy-hitting with a European dance floor sensibility. This EP features exclusive instrumental cuts from his debut album from ZZK Records, Pibe Cosmo."


Artist: TREMOR
Title: Caracol
Label: ZZK RECORDS (ARGENTINA)
Format: 12"
Price: $9.50
Catalog #: ZZK 006EP
"Tremor combines rhythms and sound across genre orders, fitting component parts of varying tradition together in eloquent symmetry. The artist breaks sound barriers across South America and presents his digital folklore tracks to a new, global audience. Tremor researches folklore traditions by region and bridges generations, geography and genre to produce his signature style. His sound is equal parts electronic music and native drum and owes as much to anthropology as it does to popular music. On his last record, Viajante, Tremor executes folklore melody through a digital context. Layers of rhythm are fortified with modern synth loops and paired with timeless Andean flute, strings and drum samples for evocative hybrids. Glitch, IDM, and electronica reinvent classic rhythms for today's listener. For a followup LP vinyl on ZZK Records/Crosstalk International, Tremor tracks get remixed by Chancha Via Circuito, King Coya, El Remolon and Nortec Collective, retrofitting Tremor's ideas with each artist's signature style for even fresher sounds."


Artist: CHANCHA VIA CIRCUITO
Title: Rio Arriba
Label: ZZK RECORDS (ARGENTINA)
Format: CD
Price: $15.00
Catalog #: ZZK 008CD
"Rio Arriba is the sophomore album from ZZK artist Chancha Via Circuito who molds local South American rhythms into global artistry. Rio Arriba bubbles up from the Andes like percussive lava, seething as it is soothing. Layers of drums play out like water and earth battling heat -- heat brought by Chancha Via Circuito, the Pig on the Circular Train. Chancha has forged a path from his town outside the urban sprawl of Buenos Aires in the east of Argentina up across the border with Bolivia and into the Northern hemisphere where he's bringing new fans to native drum traditions. In his first release, Rodante, Chancha took cumbia into uncharted territory retrofitting the Latin rhythm for a worldly audience. With Rio Arriba, South American folklore takes the reins and, under Chancha's steady hand, obscure backwoods rhythms take on a top shelf lifestyle as folklore hits the club. Obscure backwoods rhythms take on a top shelf lifestyle, mixed and chopped by Chancha. He imports raw material to metro landscapes, reminding listeners of the mysteries of nature lurking beyond urban gates."
