Description
The A side features Quantic paying tribute Cumbia-style to some Hip Hop classics and the B side is a Serato tone control.The idea for this EDITION 12” COLOURED VINYL recorded “Cumbia de Dilla” as a special one-off track, to play at DJ parties, particularly those in LA where Hip Hop and Cumbia have a special place in people’s hearts. The queue of eager fans crowding round to ask about the track inspired and set this new project on the road. Quantic has been learning accordion for three years or so in Colombia and Panama, including being taught by accordion master Anibal Velasquez in the Colombian coastal city of Barranquilla.
Cumbia, with roots in Colombia, has spread in popularity across Argentina, Peru, and into Mexico and the US, transforming as it travelled. There has been a resurgence of popularity for Cumbia amongst younger generations of DJs around the World, exploring the sound through electronic music. A new generation of Cumbiamberos (people who play Cumbia), and those experimenting with the sound, place it in a new arena with endless possibilities.
This EP features covers of the seminal KRS One track “Step Into A World”, Dr Dre’s “Nothing But A G Thing”, Missy Elliot’s “Get UR Freak On”, Pete Rock & CL Smooth’s “They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.)”, “Cumbia de Dilla” and a an original track, “Cuarta Con Cuarta”.
