Luzmila Carpio Meets ZZK

Timeless songs meet digital vanguard in a cosmic explosion of LatAm beauty.

At the crossroads of the traditional and the modern, the folkloric and the futuristic, herein lies ZZK Records.

ZZK is incredibly honored and excited to announce the release of the Luzmila Carpio meets ZZK EP. Honored because we’ve had the opportunity to work with the most famous indigenous singer on the South American continent. Excited because the collaboration turned out really beautiful.

About 5 days before La Yegros 1st European tour started, El G, riding on a double decker bus in London between tours, got an email.  It was movie director and friend Pablo Mensi who wrote: I got the funding!  I’ll meet you in Paris next week and we’re doing the documentary!

El G (who says yes to everything if the energy is right) met up with Pablo the night before the tour started, drove to Frankfurt to pick up La Yegros and Pupa (who came on board as a cameraman) and the tour and documentary got underway. Everything happened very fast, La Yegros shows were beyond expectations for her 1st time in Europe, 3 weeks and hundreds of hours of footage happened, and we wrapped in Istanbul dancing to a Gilles Peterson DJ set under the Turkish night.

We are proud to announce the avant premiere of A Musical Journey is happening tomorrow at Cine Tonala in Mexico City, prior to La Yegros debut show in Mexico!

And just like that, ZZK Films was born.

Awesome festival, insane lineup alert.  Festival Nomade is happening in the southern tip of Chile.  King Coya played last year at the inaugural event and came back singing it’s praise.  This year the line-up is amazing and includes Chancha Via Circuito, Nicola Cruz, Barrio Lindo, Matanza, Balvina Ramos, Thomash, Paloma de Cerro and more.

For those in the area, make the trip!

Zizek Club is about to turn 8 years old.  EIGHT! The party, which quickly turned into a "laboratory of dance", where the digital influences of cumbia, hip hop, dubstep or folklore were the dance music of that era, where musical and cultural prejudice were left at the door and where a ton of artists showed up to test their new ideas for dance, always dance.

8 years of adventures: from the first parties in San Telmo, to the intense nights at Niceto Club, the creation of ZZK Records, releasing original music from artists who nobody else thought to release, tours around the world, the artists and albums kept getting more and more interesting.

From a weekly party in Buenos Aires, ZZK expanded throughout the universe, its artists playing over 150 cities around the world, from Coachella to recent Boiler Room presentations.

Let’s celebrate one more time.  Saturday December 6, 2014. 8 years.
