La Makina del Karibe’s young Afro-Caribbean champeta sound meets Berlin baile funk producer Daniel Haaksman (Man Recordings), the electro-soukous tinkerers Moroka and AJ Holmes from London (sound of Secousse) and club matadors Hat+Hoodie. Kosmik Chankleta by La Makina del Karibe is the first champeta recording to bring together several international producers from the tropical bass scene. The explosive remix versions transform the Caribbean “upbeat” into an urban club sound! With its shrill electric guitars and driving beats, champeta is reminiscent of West-African soukous or rumba congolaise. Listen & More...

Welcome to Club Palenque! The two creative forges Palenque Records (Colombia) & Chusma Records (Berlin) present their new EP ”Profesias del Emperador Bantú”, featuring five exclusive songs from the musical laboratory that is San Basilio de Palenque. The recipe for this aural cocktail is as simple as it is brilliant: renowned producers and musicians such as Novalima, Quantic, Sergente Garcia, Lucas Silva and Luis Towers have let the musical diversity of Palenque inspire them. The result: a blend of Columbian afrobeat, Caribbean champeta grooves, clubby ghetto bass and African highlife! Future essentials in your DJ-bag! Listen and read more here!
