We are proud to present the last cañonazo of the year. Descending from the mountains to the Caribbean we found a guaca full of hip-breaking experimental dembow. ‘Sentimientos Encontrados’ marks another edge in the vast and stimulant sonic exploration of Nicola Cruz. The Ecuadorian artist ornamented 4 tracks with a wide rhythmic spectrum where sound currents from two continents are masterfully fused: South American percussions, 303 lines, and his modular system are at the service of futuristic perreo but also for the banger 'Se pone caliente', a sort of bastard son between dubstep and techno conceived in the Quito heights. 

Rising Honduran reggaeton star Isabella Lovestory hops on 'O sea, sí te quiero' for a killer featuring. "Hard and fast, as a thunder", she sentences. Her heart of ice exalts the collective scream where the woman, as it usually happens in the genre and as it should be in any field, are the leading subjects/characters. Finally, the journey closes with a brilliant and classy reinterpretation of ‘Sin retorno' from Ehua. The Nervous Horizon affiliated artist delivers a percussively intense and highly functional version that plunges you into a mental and bodily march. As one of the songs dictates in a processed voice, this is music to make the dance floor get caliente.

(In)-Pure mixed feelings.

We are proud to present the stellar debut and collab between the renowned Peruvian duo Dengue Dengue Dengue and Argentinian Prisma. ‘Pliegues' creates a hypnotic journey and infectious cadences that invites you to close your eyes while your hips move to the sound of colliding polyrhythms and powerful FM synth lines.

But there is also room for the oneiric realm on this EP. With the track 'Grietas' this new trio opens a portal to steep and melodramatic terrains. Meanwhile, the remix of ‘Brechas’ from our friend empanadas aka DJ Python unleashes his sincere trademark of atmospheric and sentimental dembow. Finally, el paisa Verraco makes his label debut reshaping the lead track with a bombastic, deconstructed, bipolar 'summer' banger full of edgy sound design.

ASI ME GUSTA A MI { EXTASI EXTANO }-NOW ON SPOTIFY

El virtuoso del sample en Colombia, después de hacer un álbum (Rhodesia) que, próximamente entrará en el culto de la historia musical del país del sagrado corazón, vuelve al ruedo con un mixtape pal' ambiente. Full sonidos oníricos procesados 100% de su maquinaria y que, muy probablemente, verán la luz por esta casa pronto.

Insurgentes it’s proud to present its new sub-label: Tra Tra Trax. A hub for new sounds, from post-reggaeton to electronic-tribal/ club tracks, inspired by rhythms that we Latinx grew up with and that still runs through our open veins. It is also an effort to introduce and amplify marginal cadences, movements, and above all, the power of what the artists from the global South are sprouting from their streets, antros and underworlds.

For the first instalment, Envigado's finest marks the debut with EVG en el mapa, five cuts plagued with futuristic perreo nostalgia. Unravelling the golden days of the genre, "Medellín 3000" and "Cómo olvidarla" travel in time to bring back reggaetón boutique elegance. "Doncella (Tributo a la Z y la L)" pays homage to the iconic duo Zion & Lennox, turning around their 2004 gem into a true dispenser of sweaty bellaqueo. The two remaining tracks are more than clear examples of DJ Pai's premise: the perreo and the tears are more than welcome in the club.

English Version_
Sweat and blood: TraTraTrax is back with five hot cuts leading into the depths of a 2050 illicit perreo party in Miami. Bitter Babe, the skilled Bogota selector, makes her production debut alongside one of the region's most exciting artists, Nick León. And as a happy ending, doing the last rousing, the Frenchman Simo Cell brings a remix that consecrates his futuristic sound design, this time diluted as never before in the Sudacas cadences that also lie in his Argentinean blood. Kneel down, look up and get ready to receive five whiplashes, five pleasant punishments from this stellar combo that sends a powerful message to the front line of the Latinx post-reggaeton.


Spanish Version_
Sangre y sudor: TraTraTrax está de vuelta con cinco candentes cortes que conducen hacia las profundidades de una fiesta ilícita de perreo del año 2050 en Miami . Bitter Babe, la fina selectora bogotana, hace su debut en el terreno de la producción al lado de uno de los artistas más emocionantes de la región, Nick León. Y como happy ending, haciendo la última provocación, el francés Simo Cell aporta un remix que consagra su futurista diseño sonoro, esta vez diluido como nunca en las cadencias sudacas que yacen también en su sangre argentina. Arrodíllense, miren hacia arriba y prepárense para recibir cinco latigazos, cinco placenteros castigos de este combo estelar que envía un poderoso mensaje a la primera línea del post-reggaetón latinx.

Programmed by OCTUBRXLIBRV + Florentino + AYA between Colombia & UK, 2020 — 2021 | www.insurgentes.co


English Version_
We welcome the new year with Venezuelan newcomer OCTUBRXLIBRV. Today we present TRA003, ‘Negro in Negro’, his debut EP. On this excursion through the murky valleys of the northern coast of South America, the Caracas native tries to redefine the expression "perreo violento". Four bangbangs fuse reggaeton, bass and jungle in the underworld antros with sharp, tenderising flesh percussions that are torn apart by the piercing low ends.

In addition, this pack comes with two equally hellish remixes: AYA, one of the circuit’s most disruptive producers reinterprets ‘Garganta’, delivering an unclassifiable and propulsive version; while the titan of the British-Colombian bellaqueo, Florentino, reimagines ‘0212’.


Spanish Version_
Decidimos recibir el nuevo año con flores aciagas: hoy le damos la bienvenida al venezolano y new-comer OCTUBRXLIBRV, quien presenta para la referencia TRA003, ‘Negro in Negro’, su EP debut. En esta excursión que atraviesa los valles sombríos del norte suramericano, el caraqueño intenta redefinir  la expresión “perreo violento”. Cuatros totes funden el reggaetón, el bass y atisbos de jungle con filosas percusiones que hablandan la carne y que termina de ser desgarrada por las punzantes frecuencias bajas. Además, el pak viene con dos remixes también infernales: AYA, una de las productoras más disruptivas del circuito reinterpreta ‘Garganta’, entregando una versión inclasificable pero propulsiva, mientras que el titán del bellaqueo colombo-británico, Florentino, reimagina ‘0212’. Así bailamos el no futuro.
