ZZK Records (Buenos Aires) Releases Fauna & Lagartijeando EPs

ZZK Records is pleased to announce the digital releases of two EPs that push the ZZK Sound into new sonic territories.

1st up is Fauna’s EP La Manita de Fauna with 4 exclusive instrumentals and 2 remixes by heavyweights and ZZK fam Poirier & Douster.

Turntable Lab had this to say about La Manita de Fauna EP:

“Fauna is a crew of producers and MCs hailing from Mendoza, Argentina. At the forefront of the digital cumbia scene, Fauna describe their style as “Cumbia from the Jungle” and is characterized by the heavy bass sounds you’d normally associate with Baile Funk or even fidget house. This EP opens with a remix by the ever-versatile Ghislain Porier(1). His remix of “Gauchito Gil” is an immediate banger, low bpms never sounded so fierce. Flip to the b-side for three instrumental originals(2,3,4) and you really get a sense of how original this music really is (Sounds like if you dropped a shipment of 90s era drum machines and synths in a gypsy colony and came back 10 years later to hear the results). Also includes a remix by Douster(5).”

Now available digitally everywhere!
Incl. Juno,iTunes..

Next up is Lagartijeando’s debut EP – Neobailongo.

Lagartijeando pushes the label into new territories, using Cumbia as a starting point but meshing more roots and obscure sounds with South American rhythms like chacareras, huaynos, and vidalas, mixed with heavy bass and “hyper-active synth melodies” (SF Weekly)

Boomkat said of Neobailongo:

Heavyweight plate of Nueva Cumbia Argentina and mutant Reggaeton styles from Lagartijeando on the awesome ZZK label. If you haven’t checked this label yet you really need to pay them some close attention. Their drops from Chancha Via Circuito, Fauna and Poirier are among some of the wildest dancefloor fusions we’ve heard in years and these six tracks from Lagartijeando commendably uphold that tradition. The low-flying club missile ‘Neobailongo En El Club Sarmiento’ skims battys with darkside rave synths and tumbling carnival percussion at 100bpm, while the pacy ‘Zindud’ jacks mad accordians over ghetto-house beats ‘n bass and his remix of Doña Maria’s ‘El Pescador’ tears it up in extreme slo-motion. Anyone with a taste for raw, modern pan-global ghetto musics should be on this immediately!

Listen to the EP & look out for it’s official release on April 6th.

Pre-order this heat at Juno!

This weekend’s Zizek bash features a new genre : 8-bit Cumbia Dubstep (or Cumbiastep as it’s being called)
