PELIGROSA

Sunday August 15th @ Beauty Bar

ZZK Records, Raw Word Records & Peligrosa Present:
ZIZEK CLUB SUMMER TOUR – Buenos Aires, Argentina

ZZK returns to North America for a summer 2010 tour filled with Digital Cumbia & Digital Folklorico.

“No wonder Clarín, Argentina’s largest newspaper, had nominated Zizek as one
of the best parties of the year — it was awesome.” – New York Times

$5 with RSVP @ www.PeligrosaBlog.com/RSVP // $7 @ the Door // 18 and up! // Doors @ 8pm

Performing
ZZK: El G / Chancha Via Circuito / El Remolón
PELIGROSA: Dj Dus / Orion / Manolo Black / Hobo D / Pagame

ZZK is bringing a global dance sensibility to digital cumbia, dubstep and electro-reggaeton cuts. Hypnotic beats with influences from Colombian cumbia, cumbia villera (cumbia from the slums of Buenos Aires), reggaeton, dubstep, IDM, and minimal techno, inspiration from afro-dance, murgas (marching bands), minimal dub and down tempo. Computer bleeps share sonic space with folkloric chant. Candombe drums are accompanied by the sample of a machete splicing the air and a vocal line of indigenous bebop is layered over hints of dub.

DJ sets are powerful showcases of ZZK music: past, present and future. B-Sides, mashups, bootlegs, official and unofficial releases plus the newest music from the ZZK label is tested on audiences during their fiery, eclectic and intensely fun DJ sets.

And of course local party crew, Peligrosa, will be there in full regale to bestow an insurmountable array of Latin heaters.

ZZK Records does it again without skipping a beat. In fact they added beats, remixes for Ghislain Poirier’s Kalima Shop Titi track from four reigning champions of sounds from North America to South America, are currently being pushed to support the Ninja Tunes artist and his collaboration with ZZK. I personally went straight for the Uproot Andy remix knowing that cat relentlessly blows my mind with his remixing and then i listened to all of them, SEXY!
Take a listen!

I think what amazes me most about this audio splurge is it’s visual counterpart. NASA, the responsible graphic designer in question, hits the nail on the head with the triangular representation of the Americas. It reminds me that a diaspora has no chance of keeping us separated with these advancements in our universal sound.

So it’s official!! Peligrosa is moving to the Parish!! Bigger sound system, bigger dance floor, better party. Our first show is set for September 26th and we have been blessed to have two very special guests. The Que Bajo crew, Uproot Andy and Geko Jones will join Peligrosa to present, in full force, an evening you don’t want to miss it! The boys are responsible for New Yorks’ finest insemination Latin and Tropical dance parties at some of New Yorks’ finest establishments. Some of the people they represent include ZZK, dutty artz and Bersa Discos. Expect and audible and visual sensory-gasm.

In other great news, an official release of the Fun Fun Fun Fest line-up has been release today and Peligrosa is on board and in full effect. And maybe I’m not supposed to say anything but the after party for that is going to be just as big. Don’t worry, you’ll be invited.
