Flying (150BPM)

Dengue Dengue Dengue (@Dengue) have an enviable ability to whisk together the traditional and electronic. Their debut LP La Alianza Profana was a stellar example of just that - a cumbia-cum-electronica joyride dip-dyed in all the right amounts of psychedelia and mystique. 2014's follow up project, Serpiente Dorada EP was no less of a trip. And now with July 2015 here, the Peruvian pair are providing a sneak peek at their next move. "Murdah" is four minutes of footwork-paced hysteria that showcases a step up in tempo. Unrelenting drum pounds, a percussive tribal backbone and rapid-fire vocal chops become locked in an aural bull-fight that's both infectious and dancefloor-ready.

The highly-anticipated second album from Dengue Dengue Dengue arrives later this year via Enchufada. Lap this free download up while you can.

With many influences ‘Dileke' is a difficult track to locate. As a micro-cosom of unique ingredients from eclectic and singular sources. Amongst sampled celebratory chants from East Africa and synthetic atmospheric pads that bring a taste of European production, lies a percussive-heart beating with the unusual pairing of cumbia and hip hop sampled from the sounds found at the historic Zocalo, public square in Mexico DF.

'Semillero' is the title track from this https://denguedenguedengue.bandcamp.com/album/semillero forthcoming release OntheCorner.  Bringing together Andean flutes, electronica and afro-peruvian music. Dengue Dengue Dengue sense a parallel between the evolutions of afro-peruvian music and modern Angolan producers like 3beatz Musik and Dj Deivix. They open this idea up and lay it bare, with the sounds on ’Semillero’ depicting the migration of Andean people to the coast of Peru where the influence of afro-peruvian music continues to develop.  Sounds from Mikongo’s archive feature on this title track and help to shape the concept of the e.p. 'Semillero' is like an incubator, a place where new generations of life, culture and talent are nurtured, initiated, and bestowed with precious responsibility, knowledge and responsibility. A place to keep, nurture and grow the seeds of the future. Stunning artwork by Victoria Topping and strictly ltd (SOLD OUT) vinyl.

On a trip to Brazil Dengue Dengue Dengue worked with Jonas Rocha to create a track that incorporates the recordings Jonas had made with the amazonian 'Huni Kuin' tribe. The tribe's chants are known to be healing and this production reaches across the physical worlds towards the spiritual realm.

Peruvian duo Dengue Dengue Dengue return to Enchufada with new single ‘Ágni’, a slow-burning and hypnotic song named after the inversion of the traditional Afroperuvian rhythm called ‘Ingá’. Felipe Salmon and Rafael Pereira continue to expand the carefully created aesthetic that they have crafted over the years, ever since their 2012 debut ‘La Alianza Profana’ brought the thriving South American digital cumbia scene to international attention. 

‘Ágni’ follows up on their 2018 EP ‘Son de los Diablos’ and paves the way for their anticipated third album, scheduled for later this year. Their new release sets the tone with a slow and menacing 4x4 beat at 110BPM, accompanied by intricate organic percussion, intertwining wind melodies and big looming bass notes that together create a ritualistic listening experience. 

It is the first time the duo has recorded with live musicians, having connected with Pudy Ballumbrosio, from the renowned Afroperuvian percussionist dynasty the Ballumbrosios, to lay down intricate syncopated cajón patterns and quijada, the iconic ancestral instrument made out of a donkey’s jawbone, all inherited from the musical traditions brought to the country by African slaves. This collaboration will expand beyond the studio as Dengue Dengue Dengue will begin touring with the Ballumbrosio brothers all throughout Europe this summer, and have documented their entrancing live performances on the psychedelic video that accompanies ‘Ágni’.

Dengue Dengue Dengue continue expanding their carefully created aesthetic on their new album ‘Zenit & Nadir’ by diving into the deep and rich musical history of Afro-Peruvian music, already hinted in the first single ‘Ágni’, which is the inversion of the traditional Afro-Peruvian rhythm Ingá. The ongoing exploration of the vast and rich musical heritage of the descendants of the former African slaves in Peru has become the main focus of their new album. 

Their interest in Afro-Peruvian music has led them to meet and record extensively with several members of the Ballumbrosio family, a renowned musical dynasty in Peru that has kept Afro-Peruvian musical traditions alive, masters of rhythms like landó, festejo and crioullo music, with traditional dances and instruments such as the iconic quijada - a rattling percussive instrument made out of a donkey’s jawbone. 

The introduction of live recordings with the Ballumbrosio brothers has given a whole new dimension to their always-expanding sound, and they feature extensively all throughout the album. As they were such an integral part of the recording process it made perfect sense that they would contribute to expand Dengue Dengue Dengue’s memorable audiovisual performance as well, and have began playing live shows together this year. The marriage between the traditional and organic percussion of the Ballumbrosios with DDD’s hypnotic electronic production has created a whole new chapter for the band. 

After debuting in 2012, they established themselves as a driving force in the thriving South American digital cumbia scene, but have since expanded their hybrid approach to music to introduce more references such as kuduro and zouk - and more recently the above mentioned Afro-Peruvian styles - which they fuse with traditional Latin American rhythms to build a sonic identity that is hypnotic and dark, while simultaneously festive and life-affirming. 

With the band being a visual project as much as a musical one, their carefully created aesthetic can be immediately noticed in the iconic masks they wear, often referencing traditional or indigenous elements while being artful and futuristic, a striking visual representation of their approach to music. Their new masks, which are being debuted on their upcoming tour, were handcrafted by Barcelona-based artists Twee Muizen.
