Dengue Dengue Dengue - Serpiente Dorada

Deep Of Melson

There are a few bands that will always make you remember where you were when you first listened to them. The Peruvian masked duo from Lima named Dengue Dengue Dengue is definitely one of those bands. The year was 2012 and Rafael Pereira and Felipe Salmon had just released their debut album ‘La Alianza Profana’, where their unique take on cumbia with dub and techno elements was presented to the world via stunning tracks like Simiolo, and complemented by a vibrant, colorful and psychedelic aesthetic on their videos and live visuals. We were instantly hooked. 

From then on, we knew we had to have Dengue Dengue Dengue on the Enchufada catalog. Fast-forward to the present and the boys have turned in an incredible six-track EP called ‘Serpiente Dorada’, which sees their unique and unmistakable sound develop and grow even further. While the relentless and hypnotic cumbia is still at the core of their sound – as the title-track Serpiente Dorada proudly displays – one can also hear as zouk bass slowly enters the melting pot of influences on Banana or Bugutu, while still managing to sound like no one else. The Jamaican sounds of dub, reggae and dancehall weigh heavily over the whole EP, but it’s in Booom that they make themselves more noticeable, while Rama sees the Peruvian duo leave their comfort zone and experiment with 120BPM beats. Finally, Senen Pani provides the perfect EP closer in the form of a dreamy, rhythmically-charged psychedelic lullaby. 

Perfectly translating the band’s approach to club music, ‘Serpiente Dorada’ is an infectious and colorful mixture of global sounds, as genres are used as a starting point on their ongoing search for the perfect hybrid beat, where the total is more than the sum of its parts.

Chancha Via Circuito's new album "Amansara" is out on Sept 23rd through Wonderwheel (US + AUS/NZ), Crammed (EU) & Charcho (Latin America).


Argentian producer Pedro Canale aka Chancha Via Circuito returns from a three-year sojourn with his long awaited third album, Amansara.  Originally coming out of Buenos Aires's famed digital cumbia scene, Chancha has notoriously broken way outside those boundaries to forge unprecedented mergers between Brazilian rhythms, Paraguayan harp, Andean mysticism and the solitude of Argentinian folklore - all processed through his own futuristic style of post-dubstep.  Chancha's sound is without question truly unique and instantly recognizable to the point he has become a key reference point for an entire crop of artists that have begun to carry his genes. 

Hailed by the Washington Post, the New York Times, Pitchfork, NPR and countless others, Chancha Via Circuito defies even the shrewdest of marketing geniuses.  On one hand, he is something of a cult artist within micro-circles of electronic music, having been invited to perform at Montreal's MUTEK as well as the Roskilde and Vive Latino Festivals. At the same time, Chancha's music has found broad appeal outside of the avant-garde, most notably his magnificent remix of José Larralde's "Quimey Neuquén" which was heavily featured in 2013 as part of the final season of the critically acclaimed television series Breaking Bad. Fans of the show undoubtedly remember Walter White burying his millions in the desert, soundtracked by the wide and gentle grooves of Chancha Via Circuito.

Amansara is a natural progressing of Chancha's special strain of electronic South America. Lead single "Coplita" features the haunting vocals of previous collaborator Miram Garcia, while "Sueno En Paraguay" merges Andean folklore sounds with bleeps and blips and pounding drums in a way that sounds completely natural and ordained. "Jardines" features the driving vocals of Lido Pimienta merging with heavy synths, percussion and bells into an unforgettable track, while both "Tarocchi" and "Guajaca" ramp things up into deep, electronic dancefloor inna rainforest territory.

We are very exited to anounce the release of Dengue Dengue Dengue´s first album titled: La Alianza Profana (“The Unholy Alliance"). The unique sound of this production is a fusion of several elements like the psychedelic sounds of Peruvian 70's cumbia, the deep basslines of dub and UK Bass combined with elements of techno and dancehall. The visual element is key in their dj/live shows, using always handcrafted masks and insane video animations, embracing perfectly that tropical and psychedelic journey which creates an explosive energy in the dancefloor. This shows generated a solid fan base even before they started releasing tracks. 
2012 has been an amazing year for the masked duo, they have been booked to play at major events and festivals, sharing stage with artists such as Calle 13, Manu Chao, Bomba Estereo or Mad Professor, among others; they have also been invited to perform at NOVA 2012 in Sao Paulo, Brazil (http://rojoprojects.co/nova) one of the most important festivals of contemporary culture.

Now, finally, and after near two years in the studio, Dengue Dengue Dengue! present their first official release, an album with 11 original cuts, which takes cumbia into new exiting territories. Tracks like "Don Marcial" or "Rayos Cumbicos" take us into a mystical digital journey, while tunes like “Alpha & Omega” and “Chacalom” mix cumbia with contemporary tendencies like Trap or Uk Bass. There are also dub elements everywhere in this album, specially in “Dumbia Murdahs” and even a sonic acid Tribal Guarachero track, “La Alianza Profana”.

This release comes hand in hand with their first video: "Simiolo", directed by Mikael Stornfelt (Chita Films), that in three minutes, shares with us that dementia which is included in all the different visual sensations behind the mask.

The album "La Alianza Profana" will be available on october 12th as a digital download via itunes and on CD throu the Auxiliar website, record label which will introduce very interesting an exciting artists from Peru in their upcoming releases.
