“You wouldn´t guess that the guy selling CDs in the back of Buenos Aires´s Zizek club is one of the scene´s most respected producers.  Other Zizek producers craft new school cumbia beats for dance floor whomp; Chancha takes the mystical / tropical route, emulating both Martin Denny and hip-hop´s pursuit of the perfect loop.”

His 2010 XLR8R mixtape (which you can download for free here), is one of the best explorations of any musical genre I've ever heard: the nightingale-cry-surround-sound-nature of indigenous, rootsy cumbia running head-on with the throbbing structures of beat-heavy modernity. It's a brilliant love affair that your ears will have with this man's sound.
