El Remolón comes out of the ZZK camp in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and “El Chamuyero” is firmly in line with the tradition of cumbia experimenters coming out of that city. However, in order to get a more global perspective on his music, he reached out to New York’s Dutty Artz crew for their remixing talent. The result is an EP featuring a footwork ready tune with Mbira overlays connecting Chicago to Southern Africa by Madison-based Dutty Artz member Chants. And, one of Dutty Artz’s most consistent remixers, Atropolis takes you to a Brooklyn warehouse party where Dubstep meet Cumbia in the early hours of the morning. The EP also features the original “El Chamuyero”, its instrumental, and an acapella version. The song is a collaboration between El Remolón and Buenos Aires based singer Iv Anna and it appears on El Remolón’s Selva album released earlier this year. The original recording was mixed by Tropikore and recorded in Buenos Aires. El Remolón is the alterego of Andrés Schteingart, a producer who tucks hints of Latin American rhythms like cumbia into a solid base of electronic music. After ten years in the Buenos Aires music scene producing minimal techno and IDM under the pseudonym Drole, El Remolón or “the lazy one,” evolved creating mediumtempo tracks that make great use of space. His sound is laid-back but heavy-hitting with a European dance floor sensibility. Schteingart´s strength is in his own evolution as a producer, codeswitching minimal techno into the dialect of minimal cumbia.
