Chancha Via Circuito Contributes Song to Sub Pop 1000; Prepares next ZZK/Waxploitation Album

In the middle of his tour, Chancha Via Circuito has been putting the finishing touches on songs for the follow up to his 2011 release “Rio Arriba”. The new album, entitled "Para el Mundo Nuevo" is slated for a late 2013/early 2014 release.

In addition, Sub Pop has tapped Chancha Via Circuito for an exclusive song for Sub Pop 1000, the highly anticipated compilation from the legendary label.

Chancha is contributing the song “Lacandona” to the album, which comes in a strictly limited edition vinyl pressing of 5,000 with a fat booklet and cover art by Nathan Fox and an exclusive image by Paula Duro.

Chancha sits alongside other cult artists such as Peaking Lights, Protomartyr, and His Electro Blue Voice on the album, to be released on Record Store Day.

Chancha Via Circuito’s music is a unique blend of old school South American beats and 21st-century electronics. Trance-like, but intensely rhythmic, his sound has been likened to a cumbia version of Burial, in that (in Pitchfork’s words) it’s “informed by dance music more than it actually functions as dance music”.

In now it's 7th season, Zizek Club is back on Friday April 5th at a new home:  Jok Club (Alvarez Thomas 847 - Colegiales) with shows by Fauna in their new formation and an audiovisual show by Chancha Via Circuito & VJ Paula Duro.

On Friday April 19 La Yegros takes the stage to present her first album Viene de Mi and Camanchacha, who are part of the new BA electronic scene, also headlines.

The resident DJs Villa Diamante, El G, DJ Nim & VJ Lucas DM will be in charge of holding it down in for the inaugural 2013 bash.

ARGENTINIAN DUO RELEASE OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD DEBUT ALBUM

Frikstailers are set to release their debut LP En Son De Paz on ZZK Records (Kartel) on February 25th, 2013.

Frikstailers (pronounced freak-stylers) rose from the eclectic Buenos Aires cumbia scene, turning the genre on its head with their unique style that saw Fader magazine describe them as “cumbia circuit-bent through neon dance tunes that interpret the most electric side of South America.”

Bringing their inimitable brand of South American rhythm to London in December, they headlined the taste-making Boiler Room and played a hyper-animated show at the New Empowering Church.

The duo of Rafa Caivano and Lisandro Sona recorded En Son De Paz in Mexico City where they now reside.

Their first release, the Bicho de Luz EP garnered critical acclaim, with Resident Advisor describing them as having taken  “a sound as old and ‘Western’ as hip-hop and fleshed it out brilliantly with regional touches.”

Notching up further plaudits via their inclusion on Modeselektor’s recent Modeselektion Vol.2 and the just-released Future Sounds of Buenos Aires compilation, the Frikstailers are primed for the inter-planetary big time.

This is happening.

Frikstailers are about to drop their 2nd ZZK EP, Guacha. With some fiery remixes by Los Reyes de la Milanga, Uproot Andy & Thornato.  For the occasion we've organized a quick stop over in Europe for some shows.  1st one up, the dopest internet party around, Boiler Room.  Internet phenomenon, force to be reckoned with, lineups that make you dance while cradling your laptop at home by yourself or with friends, rocking out to the beats.  Well, you get the point.

Next up is their real debut London show, cuz we can't guarantee you'll be able to get into the 1st one.  But this one is a proper warehouse party with Soundway Record's Batida and the queen of Carioca Bass from Zuzuka Poderosa.  After they finish with London, they're heading over to squat it out with the crew from Kako Da Ne in Utrecht.  Oh and then they're bouncing, like back to life, back to reality.  Just a quick little jaunt over the Atlantic to show some select crowds what 2013 has in store:  THEIR FIRST FULL LENGTH ALBUM - EN SON DE PAZ!

Bonus track!  Check out the XLR8R post where you can pick up a free remix by the titan Maga Bo!
