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.

CHUSMA 022EP
|
Outernational electronic music producer and multimedia artist Filastine continues to take risks with his new EP Aphasia. "Requiem 432" opens the album with layers of harmonic vocals that pitch and slur into percussive crescendos. "Sixty Cycle Drum"'s pumping lo-fi organs quickly transform into the album's most danceable track, flirting with the hyper cadences of footwork. Listeners will swoon for "Murka"'s gorgeous pentatonic vocal melody and string arrangement. The 808-propelled trap rhythm of "Drone Silences" may be this album's nearest reference to any recognizable genre, albeit with a spacious dub sensibility that places it far, far, away from brostep's Yankee heartland.
