From the Terapia Tropical EP

Produced by Caballo & Molo Diaz 
Guitar by Matt Mansfield
Mixed by Matt Mansfield & Kinky Electric Noise
Original song by Sol Okarina - Contacto
Original Remix by Molo Diaz

It’s been over 2 years since the Perreo Digital (A Trip into Electro Champeta) EP was released on Latino Resiste Records. Since then Champeta’s international appeal and notoriety has continued to grow, resulting in a proliferation of compilations, remixes and mixtapes to meet the public’s increasing curiosity and demand. Continuing the tradition of its predecessor, we recreated and remixed five songs from Champeta’s past, present and “future.” This time around we decided to incorporate live instruments in the mix, courtesy of Matt Mansfield of Piper Street Sound, in order to add more authenticity and originality to the grooves. The results transverse the musical spectrum, beginning with the quintessential and later swerving into the unconventional, while still maintaining Champeta as a fundamental influence. Big thanks to Matt Mansfield, Caballo and all the artists featured on this EP for their contributions and inspirations.

Wganda Kenya was a studio band on Colombia's legendary Disco Fuentes Records. They got together to capitalize on the growing popularity of African songs and rhythms on the Caribbean coast. Their songs feature a broad range of African and Antillean influences and showcase their talents as a band and individually. Needless to say I am a huge fan and that's why I chose to remix El Lobo. That song has grooves for days and I love the call and response vocals featured throughout. El Lobo was featured on the seminal compilation Palenque Records Palenque Palenque: Champeta, Criolla & Afro Roots In Colombia 1975-91 and Quantic's compilation - Tropical Funk on Nascente Records.

Since releasing their self-titled debut album earlier this year, Black Masala has been busy performing, touring and recording new music. The group won two Washington Area Music Association WAMMIE awards for Best World Music Recording and overall Best New Artist of the year. Black Masala has quickly made a name for themselves with their eclectic and funky brass-heavy sound, performing at shows up and down the East Coast.

Three tracks from Black Masala’s self-titled debut album received remix treatment by some of the world’s most exciting and in demand remix artists. First up is Dutch producer Solo Moderna’s funky Balkumbia remix of “Mesecina”, a high-energy stepper to get the dance floor going. DJ Clairvo, from Budapest, takes the deep southern Soul of “Knockin” and drops the bottom out, adding funky beats and dj scratches. NYC based K Sabroso also reworked “Knockin”, pushing and pulling the track through a range of effects, creating a bass heavy moombah-soul monster! Popular tune “Bhangra V” received five different remixes, the first by Los Chicos Altos from Barcelona, Spain. Los Chicos Altos maximize the heavy horns of Bhangra V with a swinging beat and deep bass line to maximum effect. Sydney, Australia’s Omegaman has added his signature chopped up breakbeats and other effects to create a party rocking and DJ friendly jam. Originally from Bulgaria and now based in Cologne, Germany is Kosta Kostov, who has warped and twisted “Bhangra V” into a heavy, dance floor Balkan smash; be careful with this one! Miami’s Kinky Electric Noise originally hails from Colombia and that comes through in his remix, with an upbeat tempo, heavy bass boom and some killer percussion. Closing out this release is the deep, tribal house remix of “Bhangra V” by German producer Samuel Tegaro, a refreshing and surprising take on this great tune.

Black Masala is known for their music gumbo, a live and enchanting mixture of funk, Balkan, soul, brass, Gypsy, Appalachia and more thrown together. These remixes capture the essence of Black Masala, taking the band’s music into new and different directions like house, breakbeat, moombah-soul, Balkumbia and more. Music knows no borders and neither does the irresistible vibe of Black Masala.

Summer is almost here and what better way to celebrate it's arrival than with a salsa remix featuring Colombia's Fruko Y Sus Tesos. 

Fruko Y Sus Tesos - Confundido (Kinky Electric Noise Remix)

We developed this EP as a tribute to the music and culture of Champeta: past, present and future. We encourage you to seek out the artists we have sampled, as well as the releases from Palenque Records. Thanks to Palenque, the sound of Champeta has gained a worldwide audience. They have been instrumental in helping to preserve and distribute Afro-Colombia’s rich musical past and present. Big thanks to Caballo my coconspirator in Electro Champeta, Latino Resiste, Carlito Sway, Mike Couzzi, Gaby Duran, Trisha Cobos, Makina Del Karibe, Lucas Silva, Palenque Records and all the Champeta artists, Djs and fans that helped to inspire and educate us.

Tremenda Makinaria ft. Caballo

Yippi Yappa is a new expansion in the champeta musical diaspora. Latino Resiste has selected some of the best latino producers to remix a track made by La Makina del Karibe guitarist and wicked producer, Beat Funk, and E-champeta pioneer Caballo called Yippi Yappa. However, the real result is an amazing exploration to the 'pico sound' from the roots style of Bleepolar Vs Faraon Bantu, or Champethon creator, Tombs, to the Bass approach of Dominican prodigy Mediopicky, Yippi Yappa also features the original dark take from Tribilin Sound, Miami's E-Champeta originator Kinky Electric Noise, a super tropical take from Sr Chancho. All tracks have been mastered by Gux Swadharma at the rebel records studios, and distributed by Latino Resiste under creative commons license. Listen to the original and other remixes here.

Son Palenque - El Sapo (Kinky Electric Noise Remix)

Alto Peru is a band from Buenos Aires who play a combo of cumbia and reggae with electronic flourishes and dubby elements. Definitely check out their original songs onSoundcloud. This remix came together very quickly because I really like the song. I swapped out the original's housey drums for some proper dancehall kicks and claps. I think this mix has a Happy Mondays playing cumbia in my garage kinda feel. 


Alto Peru - San La Muerte (Kinky Electric Noise Remix)

Hip-hop breaks and salsa have been a great combo ever since they were first mixed together. Here's my tribute to salsa hip-hop. I love this Latin Brothers song, which has since become popular again due to a certain unnamed show's soundtrack, and thought it sounded pretty good cut up. Later I decided to mix the Dres (Black Sheep) and Tough Junkie a capella from the song Gimmie Five over the top and the rest is history.

Summer isn't even close to being over here in Miami, FL and it's only going to get hotter. This remix was based on the Dub Club Remix of the P.T. classic. Just in case you are not familiar Dub Club  is LA's premier roots reggae and dancehall night. Once I heard this on vinyl, I had to create a remix to drop in my set. Perfect summertime elixir for those long nights. FREE DOWNLOAD @ https://kinkyelectricnoise.bandcamp.com/?hc_location=ufi

La Inédita is a Peruvian band who blends chicha with raggamuffin and reggae. Check out their full length release on soundcloud.com/lainedita  These guys are definitely a tight band with some really good songs. I personally think breakbeat and chicha go great together, nothing like hearing those guitars over some hard funky drums. I wish more people would make breakbeat chicha remixes so I could spin a whole set. On that note, here's one more.

La Inédita - Fayah (Kinky Electric Noise Remix)

I wanted to update this song with a cumbia beat and heavier drums for my Dj sets.
