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 informational 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.
ZZK Sound Vol. 2

ZZK Sound Vol. 2

format: CD

 
Just one year after the launch of ZZK Records, we´re proud to present our second compilation, ZZK Sound Vol 2. This album takes us into unchartered musical territory, pushing sonic limits globally, exploring new soundscapes along with our audience.

ZZK´s new vision of traditional Latin American music
had its way with cumbia, but the sounds have evolved. Cumbia becomes a jump-off point, an excuse to advance through musical ideas, where genres cross over and classification becomes a futile exercise. Without simplifying art by category, the moment has come to let it all flow. Music is music and this is how we enjoy it.
