Wonderwheel mainstay Chancha Via Circuito (aka Pedro Canale) introduces his fifth full-length with its first single, “El pavo real,” featuring the Meridian Brothers (aka Eblis Álvarez). Cutting his teeth early at Buenos Aires’s legendary ZZK digital cumbia parties, Chancha became known worldwide as the originator of the cumbia-inspired electronic music that takes cues from environmental sounds and South American folkloric traditions. Pedro’s musical progeny include names such as Nicola Cruz, El Búho, Dengue Dengue Dengue, King Coya and more.

“El pavo real” (or “the peacock” in English) is rooted in the now-familiar chug-chug of a dembow beat, made increasingly complex with the addition of further polyrhythmic percussion; the main melodic motif is initially played on a buzzy synth - a sonic prelude to the accompanying strings that join later in the song - adding yet another layer. It’s in this layering that Pedro’s true mastery shines: If one tries to isolate the individual sounds and rhythms, the incredible complexity is apparent, and yet, taken as a whole, everything melts together in a seamless sway of movement and melody. 

Providing vocals is Eblis Álvarez, the academy-trained Colombian singer-songwriter & multi-instrumentalist of the acclaimed Meridian Brothers (really more of a solo project than a band, as the moniker might suggest). Alvarez, recently hailed in a longform article by the New York Times, sings about the titular peacock in lilting Spanish, at times stretching out the vowels in question. It’s the perfect addition to an already great song, and the collaboration of two of Latin America’s foremost innovative artists places “El pavo real” in rarified air.

“El pavo real” is out on Brooklyn’s Wonderwheel Recordings September 30th, 2022, with an album to follow later in the Fall.

The São Paulo based collective, Sonido Trópico, have long been establishing themselves as a new voice to be heard within the latin-american scene.

They now take a big step forward in founding a Label. Their first official release, SONIDO TRÓPICO VOL. 1, contains 13 tracks that put into waves exactly what Sonido Trópico is all about. The Producers and DJs who's work appear on this first album have not only played at Sonido Trópico's already infamous parties, but have worked alongside Sonido's 4 Resident DJs (Spaniol, Nirso, Salvador Araguaya & El Peche) in bringing new life and energy to the Sâo Paulo scene. Together they have reinterpreted and expanded, beyond precedent, the horizons of electronic music within the ultra-creative scene in São Paulo.

Our favorite Italian house music producers of all things Afro & Deep Randomized Coffee make a return to Wonderwheel for a dancefloor shaking 2 tracker feat legendary Italian percussionist Tony Cercola. "Cotone Mediterraneo" comes to the table with a shuffling deep House vibe blending into a heavy North African desert vibe, while "Mercato Burruchaga" takes things funkier for the dancefloor with punchy drums, swirling percussion, guitar licks and live horns.

After a long wait we are really happy to share Albura Remixed. This is the first time Barrio Lindo has released a remix album of his original music and for this special occasion invited a group of talented fellow producers, and friends, to interpret, reinterpret, deconstruct or reconstruct the tracks from Albura.

That result is a deep journey into the Albura universe with each of the 12 versions giving a whole new life to the original music.

A special thanks to El Búho, SidiRum, Barda, Jin Yerei, Quixosis, Chancha Vía Circuito, Matanza, M, Rux, GrOund, Lagartijeando, Nicola Cruz, Kraut & Spaniol for taking on the task and doing justice to the originals.

Love
Barrio Lindo & the Shika Shika family

El español Alejandro Guillán bajo su alias Baiuca, remixó “Ilaló”, una de las canciones más interesantes del último álbum de estudio de Chancha Via Circuito llamado  “Bienaventuranza”, con la colaboración vocal de Mateo Kingman.
Esta versión cuenta con una impronta más electrónica que el original, en clave housera, con un pulso bailable que gira en torno a la voz del ecuatoriano Kingman y una melodía que viene desde Canale y su sensibilidad híbrida que combina dos mundos con envidiable sencillez. Un lujo que nos damos en DJ Mag Latinoamérica.

Uji presents “Jenga Remixed” featuring Nicola Cruz, Rodrigo Gallardo and M.RUX

Uji’s single Jenga, from his debut release “Alborada”, has been re-imagined through the ears of international collaborators Nicola Cruz (Ecuador), Rodrigo Gallardo (Chile), and M.RUX (Germany). Each of the remixes has a unique approach and sound, baring the artistic mark of each of the three producers, but also showing the diversity of electronic music today. Jenga in particular is a track that lends itself to re-interpretation, Uji’s vocals are distinguishable yet highly addictive, and each of these interpretations has re-harmonized and re-imagined them, yet remain true to the tribal nature of the original. Nicola Cruz speeds things up with a remix that pushes into the uncharted territory of high energy percussive, tribal music, while M.RUX delivers a highly musical, mushroom raver that pulls some punches. Rodrigo Gallardo offers his signature dance floor pumping production taking us straight into late-night club culture. The EP lines up the three remixes along with the original album cut, which evokes a pre-verbal state reminiscent of tribal cultures.  The included acapella also invites producers to continue to explore and remix the track endlessly.
