Chancha Via Circuito's new album "Amansara" is out on Sept 23rd through Wonderwheel (US + AUS/NZ), Crammed (EU) & Charcho (Latin America).


Argentian producer Pedro Canale aka Chancha Via Circuito returns from a three-year sojourn with his long awaited third album, Amansara.  Originally coming out of Buenos Aires's famed digital cumbia scene, Chancha has notoriously broken way outside those boundaries to forge unprecedented mergers between Brazilian rhythms, Paraguayan harp, Andean mysticism and the solitude of Argentinian folklore - all processed through his own futuristic style of post-dubstep.  Chancha's sound is without question truly unique and instantly recognizable to the point he has become a key reference point for an entire crop of artists that have begun to carry his genes. 

Hailed by the Washington Post, the New York Times, Pitchfork, NPR and countless others, Chancha Via Circuito defies even the shrewdest of marketing geniuses.  On one hand, he is something of a cult artist within micro-circles of electronic music, having been invited to perform at Montreal's MUTEK as well as the Roskilde and Vive Latino Festivals. At the same time, Chancha's music has found broad appeal outside of the avant-garde, most notably his magnificent remix of José Larralde's "Quimey Neuquén" which was heavily featured in 2013 as part of the final season of the critically acclaimed television series Breaking Bad. Fans of the show undoubtedly remember Walter White burying his millions in the desert, soundtracked by the wide and gentle grooves of Chancha Via Circuito.

Amansara is a natural progressing of Chancha's special strain of electronic South America. Lead single "Coplita" features the haunting vocals of previous collaborator Miram Garcia, while "Sueno En Paraguay" merges Andean folklore sounds with bleeps and blips and pounding drums in a way that sounds completely natural and ordained. "Jardines" features the driving vocals of Lido Pimienta merging with heavy synths, percussion and bells into an unforgettable track, while both "Tarocchi" and "Guajaca" ramp things up into deep, electronic dancefloor inna rainforest territory.

Charles Ellsworth announces the November 1st release of ‘The Gates,’ the first single off of his upcoming record “Cosmic Cannon Fodder”. The single is a poignant portrait of a working person rolling their rock up the hill, after years of stagnant wages and a rising cost of living. It asks when, not if, we’ll reach a breaking point?

“Now I work all night and I sleep all day
‘Cause rent’s so goddamn hard to make
Somehow I find a way to get it paid”

I keep working more and getting less
I’ll work like this until I’m dead
Rest when I’m inside the pearly gates”

When discussing the lyrics Charles stated “Friends have asked if the song was inspired by my strained relationship with my biological father, and while that’s been an abundant well of inspiration throughout the years, this song was much more inspired by the ever present horrors of late-stage capitalism.” Ellsworth’s haunting chuckle continues, “It wasn’t originally the first single I had planned, but getting the album out has taken longer than I anticipated. I wanted this song out before the election as a way of showing where I stand, on the side of working and low income people.”
