From the sweltering tropical depths of Cali, Colombia Will ‘Quantic’ Holland’s studio band Los Miticos Del Ritmo (The Mythics of Rhythm) return with an album of hip shaking, dancefloor quaking instrumental cumbias. Released on CD, LP and download on the 30th April. The LP is 100% analogue and comes with an original screen-printed front cover designed by the London based artist Lewis Heriz.

Assembled using vallenato and cumbia musicians living in Cali, Los Miticos del Ritmo are a 7 piece studio band put together by British musician, producer and now Colombian resident Will ‘Quantic’ Holland.

Covers of Queen’s ‘Another One Bites The Dust’, Michael Jackson’s ‘Don’t Stop’, The Abyssinians reggae classic 'Satta Massagana'  and Gildardo Montoya’s ‘Fabiola’ (as featured on Soundway’s ‘The Original Sound of Cumbia’ sit along side original cumbias on this feel good, house party cumbia LP.

Recorded in Will’s home studio in Cali, his approach was to produce an album with the aesthetics of 1960s tropical recordings made in Colombia and the Caribbean. Careful attention made to preserve the analogue quality of the recording at every stage.

‘The idea of the record was to record something that sounded like a lost cumbia classic,’ said Will in a recent interview with Soundway ‘Like something dug out of a Barranquilla basement after decades of humidity and dust. In a modern climate of mashups and sampling, it seemed refreshing to record something with musicians doing covers and approaching new ideas for cumbia, rather than rehashing old tricks.’

The record was recorded entirely on 4 track tape, using a process of overdubs and tape transfers to record multiple sessions at different times with different musicians. As Holland began to play the dub plates of the project in his DJ sets around the world, tracks like ‘Cumbia de Mochilla’ and ‘Another one Bites the Dust’ slowly became sure-fire dancefloor winners.

Los Mitcios Del Ritmo first saw the light of day on Quantic’s vinyl only EP ‘Hip Hop En Cumbia’, released last year through Tru Thoughts. The group includes Ancer Rada (percussion) grandson of the great Colombian accordionist Franscisco Pacho Rada, one of very first Colombian troubadours to tour unaccompanied with just his voice and accordion. The band is also compromised of Combo Barbaro regulars Fernando Silva (bass) and Freddy Colorado (percussion).

Since moving to Colombia in 2007 Will has slowly immersed himself in the musical history of the country. The much acclaimed ‘The Original Sound of Cumbia’, a 55 track compilation of Colombian cumbia and porro released on Soundway in 2011, was the result of five years of field research from Will. Simply finding and compiling old records is not however in Will’s DNA. The research is more an education for Quantic the musician who has been learning accordion for close to five years now, even taking lessons from Colombian and Panamanian accordion masters such as Anibal Velasquez and Papi Brandao.

Los Miticos Del Ritmo sees Will as an accordionist for an entire long player for the first time and must be the first traditional cumbia record recorded on tape in Colombia for many years.

Los Miticos Del Ritmo - Otro Muerde El Polvo (Another One Bites The Dust)

Joe Arroyo is one of the most famous artists in Colombia. Was born in Cartagena and died in Barranquilla in 2011. He was aware with a Grammy Latino and got multiple awards in Barranquilla's Carnival. His life was dedicated to composing and singing salsa and tropical music, he stared really young and became really early an icon from Colombian folklore.

Barrio Latino presents "the edit series". A collection of world music classics "made to play".

From the deepest respect the main intention of this series is to expand music culture by approaching world music to the electronic music world where they can be played in dj sets and get discovered by new audiences.

We are trying to be loyal to the original track and just give them that touch to make the playable.

This is a chance for people to get in touch with artists that otherwise they would never discovered and the first step to dig into their musics, their cultures and their lives.

All-star Colombian ensemble Ondatrópica return with a new single featuring a cover of Fela Kuti's 1971 classic 'Chop 'n' Quench' and two remixes.  'Chop 'n' Quench' was recorded during the original recording process at Colombia’s famed Discos Fuentes studio early last year.  

A project originally conceived by Will ‘Quantic’ Holland and Mario Galeano (Frente Cumbiero) the self-titled album went onto be released via Soundway Records to critical acclaim. Preserving the vibrant sound of the past and taking it to new heights with modern approaches to production, arrangement and composition, Ondatrópica topped many end of year lists in 2012.

New York based Adam Partridge, also known as Atropolis, remixes 'El Caimán y el Gallinazo' a track originally written by Climaco Sarmiento, the father of Ondatrópica's legendary saxophone player Michi Sarmiento. French producer DJ iZem’s remix of 'Tiene Sabor, Tiene Sazón' was chosen by the band from over 50 entries to a recent remix competition. 

Speaking of DJ iZem's remix Will Holland said, "This was definitely the best and most innovative remix we heard. He went out on a good style that progresses throughout."  
 
Ondatrópica are currently on tour throughout Europe.
