OFFICIAL BIO
Regarded upon his 2006 arrival as a promising beatmaker looming in the shadows of J Dilla, Madlib, waterfalls and Dabrye, Steven Ellison -- known as Flying Lotus -- nullified all comparisons only two years later with Los Angeles. On that album, his first of five for the Warp label, Ellison distilled a uniquely crisp, spasmodic, and heady sound with elements of hip-hop, avant-garde jazz, IDM, and dubstep. While the abovementioned producers fueled Ellison, he had also been excited as a youngster by the '90s West Coast rap classics that combined programming and live instrumentation. His sound continued to develop as he put his own twist on the approach, recording with a crop of jazz musicians including the indispensable likes of bassist Thundercat and strings master Miguel Atwood-Ferguson. This process began with the turbulent 2010 set Cosmogramma and peaked in terms of acclaim in 2014 with You're Dead!, which crashed the Top 20 of the Billboard 200 and spawned the Kendrick Lamar collaboration "Never Catch Me," a Grammy nominee for Best Dance Recording. Ellison devoted a few years to various forms of film work and the operation of his revered Brainfeeder label, and returned in 2019 with Flamagra, his second consecutive album to top Billboard's Dance/Electronic chart.

Kúmbale is a German-based independent music platform. The two musicians in charge are DJ and Producer René Gamez aka Skruper Sounds / SSDSS (Mexico /Global Bass Berlin) and Pocho Gonzalez aka DJ Gonzalez (Electropical Munich). „Our mission is to serve as an underground runway between Latin America and Europe. We want to spread our friends' and colleagues' creations. That means we want to support our more established colleagues entering Germany, and offer maximum promotion to the newcomers,” says DJ Gonzalez. What started as a pun – “Cumbia Mapalé = Kumbale” – evolved into a sound system that is right now focusing on publishing compilations. It aims at broadening its activities, starting with music including more forms of latin and “sudaka” arts as a cultural movement. Why? Because we love what is going on at home in our countries and we don't want the party to stop. This is an open invitation to all Djs, Djanes, producers, musicians and bloggers to walk this path together with us. When there is turmoil between north and south things have to move on.

Kúmbale ist eine independent Musik Plattform, die Ihre Basis in Deutschland hat. Organisiert wird sie von DJ und Produzent René Gamez aka Skruper Sounds / SSDSS (México /Global Bass Berlin) und Pocho Gonzalez aka DJ Gonzalez (Electropical Munich). “Unsere Mission ist es eine illegale Landebahn zu bieten, zwischen Lateinamerika und Europa. Wir wollen verbreiten, was unsere Freunde und Kollegen kreieren, den etablierten Künstlern Präsens in Deutschland ermöglichen und den Newcomern die beste Promo.“ sagt Dj Gonzalez. Was als Wortspiel begann - „Cumbia Mapalé = Kúmbale“ - entwickelte sich zu einem soundsystem, dass mittlerweile Compilations veröffentlicht. Wenn die Beteiligung groß genug ist, kann Kumbale zu einem colectivo cultural werden, und dann nicht nur Musik promoten, sondern auch Latin und „Sudaka“ Kunst. Denn wir sind verrückt danach, was bei uns zu Hause abgeht, und die Party soll kein Ende nehmen. Wir laden alle Djs Djanes, Produzenten, Musiker und Blogger dazu ein, zusammen mit uns diesen Weg zu gehen. Wenn Norden und Süden aufeinander prallen, muss etwas passieren.
