VILLA DIAMANTE - EMPACHO DIGITAL
June 2009
 
VILLA DIAMANTE - EMPACHO DIGITAL


I often ask myself: can I sum up this album? Does it make sense to make Empacho Digital shorter?

Empacho Digital is a three-disc mashup album featuring more than 40 tracks that lead you on an unimaginable musical journey where cultural boundaries are blurred and genres are melded to give rise to the unprecedented.
This is just another one of the tireless efforts of making art out of art, with cultural industries at their height, record companies at their worst moments, and the Web functioning as the maximum tool for informacional searches, the freedom of Wi-Fi is already showing its first collateral damages. Empacho Digital is nothing more than a consequence of all the music that has
ever come out of my speakers.

 

 

Download http://www.diamantestyle.com.ar


VILLA DIAMANTE - EMPACHO DIGITAL - DOWNLOAD

The current musical style of mashups is made in an undoubtably Zizek style. The mashups are made to be played every night in Zizek Club, in its role as a weekly resident.
Latin American futurismo has been mashedup and basterdized with artists from all over the world, creating a new movement on the Buenos Aires dancefloor that is super-informed and digitalizad. Too 2009.

 

VILLA DIAMANTE - DUBSTEPERISMO
(THE DALEDURO INFLUENCE) – DOWNLOAD

One day Daleduro came to me and said, listen to this… And a whole new cosmovision of dance forms became present with all those fat bass tones and a heavy rhythm style out of post-nuclear Jamaica. Dubstepism is getting closer to Latin America with some reggaeton folksteps brought down to Dubstep rythms.
The only contemporary music genre that I could see getting born, devoloping, and probably dying. All of this information that makes me in Buenos Aires try to understand a cultural movement that is developing on the dancefloors of London and all of these gigabytes of music was given to me by Daleduro, my best dealer.


VILLA DIAMANTE - ROCK AR - DOWNLOAD
With an unconditional and fucked up love for all of Argentinian rock, this is just a tiny sampling of all the disks that I’ve been collecting through Taringa.net. Many were in the form of old cassettes, vinyls, and scratched CDs, and some I had read about how they existed and as a vice I started compiling all of the records I loved from Argentinian rock.

FAUNA AND VILLA DIAMANTE IN SAO PAULO!

After El Remolon's shows in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo, the second Brazilian Zizek showcase is coming! Fauna and Villa Diamante are going ready to make everyone dance at the second birthday of the party Cha Cha Cha!


Be aware that next week two very important online edits are being released: The Fauna Remix Contest has been finalized and we now have the flashiest (weird translation, lets go with DOPEST!) remixes available to download for free from ZZK Records, and Villa Diamante is launching his Empacho Digital, a triple album with too much information. Both are available for free download in MP3.

EL REMOLON PRESENTS PIBE COSMO


On Friday June 12th at 9 p.m., El Remolon will present Pibe Cosmo, as part of a night produced by the record label Estamos Felices. He´s rocked his album already at Zizek Club in Buenos Aires and around the world during the Zizek European Tour but the album really needed a launch party with all the guests that were part of it. An audiovisual show featuring a number of performers from his album, Freshcore and the Fucking Bastard Visualeros. Nairobi will end the line-up with his space dub.


Ciclo Estamos Felices: El Remolón + Nairobi
Sala Batato Barea, Centro Cultural Ricardo Rojas
Av. Corrientes 2038
Ticket price: $15


El Remolon presents Pibe Cosmo, 12 tracks of digital cumbia and electro reggaeton madness. An album that goes from the craziest cumbia, processed with the tricks of minimal techno trade, to subtle songs with beautiful melodies. Featuring Pablo Lescano, Ale Sergi, Fauna, Blitto and Vanesa Strauch.


Download Pibe Cosmo mixtape mixed by El Remolon with mash-ups and remixes not included in the album.

MORE ZIZEK AT COACHELLA (& BEHIND THE SCENES FOOTAGE)!

MORE ZIZEK AT COACHELLA (& BEHIND THE SCENES FOOTAGE)!

The Zizek Crew responds to questions during the interviews hosted by Pepsi during the Coachella Festival. At the epicenter of one of the biggest festivals in the world, Douster, Fauna, and El G are surrounded by the the greats in the music world.


After rocking Coachella, now comes Roskilde...we're missing Glastonbury or we could say that we went to the three most important music festivals in the world. Missing one, but going for more.

And now for some unofficial videos, these ones weren´t produced by Pepsi at a posh resort in Palm Springs, rather caught on tour by the Zizek boys themselves as they went coast to coast and on down to Mexico!

"ES FAMOSO... MENEO!"
June 2009
 

In many cities of the world there are Zizek ambassadors: Sonido del Principe in Rotterdam, Oro11 in LA, Douster in Lyon, Uproot Andy in New York and Meneo in Barcelona! an audiovisual duet that takes 8 bit sounds and visuals to the edge of the craziest electro reggaeton that people are listening to around the world. For those who don't know who Meneo! is, we recommend listening to "La Licuadora", the super hit included in the ZZK Sound Vol. 2.

Meneo has recently presented his new video clip, taking the 8 bit to the edge. Not for the prude.

Bonus track: Continuing with Meneo's dope videos, here you have Okupa, filmed at Ocupada house that the 2 Meneos share in Barcelona. This place was a temporary home for Villa Diamante during his 2008 Zizek Tour around Europe.

LA MANITA DE FAUNA VINYL EP
May 2009
 
LA MANITA DE FAUNA VINYL EP
Fauna´s long awaited EP is finally out. With remixes by Ghislain Poirier and Douster, this vinyl is a gem for both DJs and Fauna fans in general. We loved the write up on Turntable Lab so much we´ll let them do the talking....

"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 Poirier(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)."


Buy it from TTL today! Read more about it here.

Also, we didn't forget, just been busy, stay tuned soon for the Fauna Remix Contest results!
