ZZK Records

ZZK Records is a homegrown record label and artist collective that emerged from the Zizek Club nights in Buenos Aires. Founded in 2008 by Texan Grant C. Dull, this label has become synonymous with "digital Cumbia" and Reggaeton. Led by Guillermo Canale & Diego Bulacio, ZZK Records showcases a diverse range of talented artists who are pushing boundaries and redefining Latin American music.

With its finger on the pulse of the underground music scene, ZZK Records has established itself as a leading force in the industry. The label's commitment to innovation and artistic expression is evident in every release. From *Cumbia Digital* to *Reggaeton*, their catalog represents a fusion of traditional Latin rhythms with contemporary electronic sounds.

Under the guidance of CEO Andrew Herrera, ZZK Records continues to nurture emerging talent while also collaborating with established artists. Their dedication to promoting cultural diversity and celebrating Latin American heritage sets them apart from other labels. Whether you're a fan of *Tremor*, *Chancha Via Circuito*, or any other artist on their roster, you can expect nothing but exceptional music from ZZK Records.

For this album Ghetto Kumbé has enlisted an all-star roster of artists from four different continents, they’ve put together a fresh version of their debut album that’s been specifically geared to the world’s diverse slate of dancefloors, whether at home or in the club, this double 12” 45 RPM is the perfect format to experience this music. There's no denying the power of the drum. It's primal, it cuts across borders and most importantly, it makes you want to move. 

Ghetto Kumbé don't just understand that they celebrate it, and it's why the tambor was at the heart of the Bogotá-based trio's 2020 self-titled debut album. Rooted in mysticism and the Afro-Caribbean rhythms they'd grown up with all their lives, the critically acclaimed LP thrillingly updated the traditional Latin template, folding in elements of modern hip-hop, house and bass music while also delivering a transportive Afro-futurist vision. On Clubbing Remixes, that vision has been further amplified, as Ghetto Kumbé who were already one of Colombia's most prominent alternative acts have now gone fully global; enlisting an all-star roster of artists from four different continents, they've put together a fresh version of their debut album that's been specifically geared to the world's diverse slate of dancefloors. 

As the title implies, the new LP is meant for the club, which is why Ghetto Kumbé have turned to Latin music heavyweights like Trooka a multiple Grammy winner whose resume includes work with Lin-Manuel Miranda and Residente and Monte (a.k.a. Bomba Estéreo founder Simón Mejía), along with top-shelf DJs like Nickodemus and Uproot Andy, two NYC artists who've spent decades championing Afro-Latin rhythms. True to the LP's global spirit, the record also includes reworks from batida maestro DJ Firmeza, fellow Afro-Portuguese outfit Studio Bros and Parisian house groovers Les Enfants Sauvages, plus genre-blurring remixes from sonically adventurous Colombians Montoya (himself another ZZK artist) and Cero39. Even the artwork on Clubbing Remixes is a remix, as Ghetto Kumbé have tapped Uganda's Denzel Muhumuza to transform the cover of their debut album into a new, explicitly Afro-futuristic illustration. 

Depicting a strong Black face and glowing neon fauna beneath a sparkling moonlit sky, the fantastical image speaks to both the ritual magic and Afro-indebted heritage of Ghetto Kumbé's music, and thanks to Clubbing Remixes, the group's passionate, drum-fueled sounds will soon be blasting out of soundsystems around the globe.
