Doctor Stereo - La Cumbia Perdida - out on Names You Can Trust

(7"/Download) Names You Can Trust NYCT 7007, 2011-07-04

Names You Can Trust presents No. 3 in its series of New Cumbia vinyl 45s. This latest release features an original track from Argentinian record junkie, producer and creator of the Soulfood parties in Buenos Aires, Doctor Stereo (aka Ezequiel Lodeiro), as well as a remix from Brazil's DJ Tahira. Doctor Stereo marks his debut on NYCT with a swinging summertime heatrock. La Cumbia Perdida is an exploration into early 1960s Cumbia roots, full of irresistible hip hugging piano licks against a contemporary backbone of heavy drums and squelchy synthesized effects. DJ Tahira (behind the excellent Fumãca Jazz Remix of GRC's Secret Stash on the NYCT Remixes EP) shifts the original track ever so slightly into Afro-Colombian territory, subtly adding a layer of quintessential Afro-Beat inspired guitar licks and a deft touch of deep subterranean bass.

Straight out of Bogota Colombia, Frente Cumbiero make their debut vinyl release with two thumping original Cumbias that are sure to set dance floors on fire. Pitchito is an uptempo scorcher with a healthy dose of sparkling synth work and rattling percussion, finding its groove somewhere between Lonnie Liston Smith and golden era-Fuentes. Ananas Tornillo proves again why Frente Cumbiero is on the forefront of the Nueva Cumbia movement in Colombia, pairing an intoxicating keyboard hook with a biting bass line, freshly squeezed and served along the Andean Countryside. Frente Cumbiero explores the sound and identity that Cumbia represents in Latin America. Having participated in Cumbia related projects since 1999 in Colombia, Mexico, England, France and Holland (from roots to experimental), the collective has collaborated with key players in the burgeoning international movement, building bridges all the way from New York to Buenos Aires. With an ever-expanding interest in its sound, Frente Cumbiero remains a powerful link between Colombian roots music and the Nueva Cumbia generation.

Greenwood Rhythm Coalition is back with a couple of low-slung tropical bubblers aimed straight at your summer barbecues and block parties. Cumbia Kikuchi crackles with a hypnotic horn line and pawn shop synths, chugging along relentlessly like a Peruvian space cowboy on mellow coca leaves. Regresar A Cali nods to lowriding funksters in both the Colombian city and its American namesake a bit further up the Pacific coast, playing kinda ruff with a Zapp-esque synbass that tangles with tropical guitar and percussion. The flagship operation of the Names You Can Trust label, Greenwood Rhythm Coalition is produced and directed by Brooklyn stalwarts Monk-One and E's E. Having already put out a string of best-selling and critically acclaimed vinyl releases since 2007 (garnering play by the likes of Mr. Scruff, Quantic, Dom Servini and the Jelly Jazz crew to name a few), GRC continues to impress with it's unique hybrid of styles and influences aimed at discerning DJs and dancers alike.

Paris DJs Soundstem - Latin Dance Party (MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) T.I.M.E.C., 2009-02-11 What started as a 21st Century Latin selection ended like this: latin + dance = party!
