Latino Resiste‘s MAL DICEN has returned with our first full studio album since the pandemic. But we are updating the label not fully finely-tuned, radio-friendly ‘bidda bang’ nor completely underground only few people can recognize. Naturally, it’s both – with the focus being on ‘flavor and roots’ . And we’ve got this Argentinian producer DOXZON releasing WACHIN THON which naturally, it’s superb.
WACHIN THON, sees DoxZon recreating with a swathe of both genres and artists across 10 tracks. Some songs are originals; some have already been released and others are remixes. There’s something in the album that really stands out, DoxZon is making FUTURE MALAMBO, which is a barely known genre outside Argentina, and Gustavo Cerati’s rapto gets this FUTURISTIC MALAMBO that leaves it still as compelling, creative and powerful as ever.
The best thing about WACHIN THON it’s the breadth of styles and genres that DOXZON has dived into which is most impressive. It’s clear that he has intentionally trodden a tightrope between bringing a commonly known sound bang into 2022 but also keeping a signature style alive.
AfroDancehall features heavily. As well as Moombahton, Baile funk, and Reggae, but it is the Future Malambo tracks that make this Wachin Thon stand out from everything else you hear on regular basis.

Singer Leopold Nunan and drag queen Pietra Parker take over Beverly Hills with a new beat and a music video about ostentation and empowerment.
Grab it on our BANDCAMP
But PLEASE make sure to check the amazing video where Brazilian Queer artists live out the fantasy of the American dream in new music video shot on no other place but Rodeo Drive.
Born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and based in the USA, recording artist Leopold Nunan who had released a track with us alongside our good friends WILE OUT, teams up with supertalented drag queen Pietra Parker dropping flames on “Ballin’ in Beverly Hills“.
This babe is mix of hip-hop, afrobeat, trap and favela bass.
A bombastic track for the dance music lovers, says Leo. The BEST PART!!!!
track was produced by 16-year old phenomenon, heavy hitter from Mato Grosso, Brazil, Karan! THIS DUDE IS THE MF FUTURE!!!!
This will be Leopold’s 6th single release and Pietra’s music debut. The music video is a marathon of absurd looks directed by fashion photographer Will Cook. The video was all shot in Beverly Hills, on Rodeo Drive and at a private party at a friend’s mansion.
The lyrics were written by Leopold and Pietra in partnership with Z33R0, an East LA Latino composer, queer performer and activist.
We gathered all our friends to help shoot the music video, so we could realize this dream together. “Ballin” production was done 100% independently. There will be also
3 other versions, a techno version by Golden Kong, a riddim’ take by Klean and a arabian trap signed by Klap – curiously all Brazilian producers.
Following the current state of affairs in Colombia and Brazil, iconic Baile-funk originator, DJ CHERNOBYL and LATINO RESISTE team up to unveil a feral expansion in the baile funk universe.
We believed for the past year that being in a pandemic was not a good time to drop music that intends to please mostly party/festive/dj fueled scenes. However, the current situation in Brazil and Colombia with a right-wing police state calls for LR to join the fight with the best tool we have..
CHANGING THE SYSTEM.
that’s why we unveil this new sound:
QUEBRA TUDO.
An explosive crude and revolutionary approach to how the favela meets club minded people in order to add this to any heavy bass underground party.

The first track is called HARI HARI, which is a straight up banger using Neo-Baile funk tactics with a fast paced 150 tempo that calls for heavy charging
Track number two HORNZAUM uses the very common favela bass HORNS with this epic riddim that builds up to an even better polyrhythm base that makes it impossible not to jump or headbang.
On third base, we go even darker, completely mental
AS MINA ASSIM.. imagine a pure BERLIN TECHNO inside a Rio de Janeiro favela warehouse.
Last but not least, DJ CHERNOBYL, add his massive support to the resilience with COLOMBIA.
Bass techno blended with neo-favela
In 2013, a collaboration between their love for old school jungle music and Drum & Bass got together producers Chong X and Caballo to release JAH JAH RULES .
Then Caballo moved forward with the project alone to drop a second installment called Mayo’ Naizer in 2016 which went more Jungle-Bass, Reggaeton-Jungle and Grime.
Now in 2020 a 3rd chapter called FUTILE FUTURE and it gets to finally see the basslight after a long process of finding right balance, fans of old school jungle as well as those who like Futuristic Drum & Bass can be either pining for songs with typical Shy Fx flavour or for a whole new Ill gates type of sound.
In an attempt to appease both crowds, Futile Future lands somewhere in the between with safe, familiar sounds but also keeps a loose wire in terms of exploration. In fact, the quality of the collaborations/sample/edits makes the vocal talent able to lit the album and keep the old-school vibe even though some of the tracks, like Solid Defense, are a completely futuristic dub & bass . Futile Future is simply put one of the most concrete Jungle albums made by a adopted Latins, especially considering the reputation that these genre have gone through in the past few years in the EDM community.

For decades confined to Colombia’s poor coastal regions and condemned by conservative politicians as violent and corrupting, the African-Latin fusion sound of champeta is finally cracking into the mainstream.
Obviously the fact half of the planet saw it at the Superbowl when Shakira danced to it and made a whole challenge that gave a completely new audience that otherwise would have never knew about this hidden genre in the Afro-Colombian community.
There are several theories about the origin of the word champeta, but it likely stems from the champeta knife used by workers in Cartagena’s Bazurto market. In the ‘70s, these workers would meet regularly to listen to African music on picós, but over the decades the word has been
deliberately sullied by conservatives seeking to attach connotations of violence to the music. This kind of prejudice against the country’s black population has stifled the genre’s growth over the years, with Colombian politicians even attempting to enforce a national ban on champeta, accusing the music of encouraging violence and teenage pregnancy.
In fact, our brother Lucas Silva, who did 2 compilations with us and owns perhaps the most significant Afro-Colombian label: PALENQUE RECORDS says about champeta’s significant raise to become Shakira’s superbowl halftime most talked dance: “It was a very tough fight. There is a lot of racism in this county and champeta was too new – people didn’t understand it, it was a shock, like with any revolution. I remember coming back to Bogota in the mid ‘90s and everybody hated champeta. They all said it was ‘stupid’ music and too sexual. But the lyrics were just covering normal things about life. Bogota was a very white city in the ‘90s – everyone was listening to rock music at the time. Rock music was for rich people and cumbia and champeta were for the poor people.”
Latino Resiste unveils THE HIDDEN RAVES OF CHAMPETESBURG which is a continuing part of the electro-champeta movement we began a decade ago, this time expanding Champeta’s DNA towards newer subgenres which could include Aleteo, House, bits of moombahton, and acoustic champeta..
Each track takes one of the elements most relevants of the genre. Whether the heavily Abelardo Carbono’s influenced guitars, or the Roland Dogs, or the percussive patter or simply its lyrical content, champeta is always expanding, it can’t be contained or defined by just few parameters, and our responsibility in Latino Resiste is to expand our Latin Music diaspora.

Montreal-based MIXWELL is an artist some of the people into the afro-bass music might be familiar, and for those who do not know him, we assure a 100% that we all can bond over.
He’s been awing us since we he released a magnificent album under our brothers from CASSETTE BLOG. We have yet to meet a song of his that doesn’t make us want to bust a move. Half Canadian and half Guatemalan, Mixwell is a musical anthropologist of sorts, frequently sonic traveling back through the afro music to find old artists and songs he then mixes with heavy, contagious beats.
Think of him as playing your grandma’s music, but at a volume and with a bass that would have your grandma yelling at you to turn that ruckus off.
We are super honored to present to you AFROPODER
a 3 piece EP with ALL THE AFROPOWER we can get… inclusing the amazing art done by AFROMESTIZA!!
Grab the whole EP for #zeropesos at Bandcamp
OR MIXWELL’s VERY OWN SC
For many years French producer Hugo Douster has been a key figure in the European Tropical scene under his DOUSTER moniker; however once he switched to darker beats with a huge African/Caribbean vibe on his KING DOUDOU project he really took it to the next level to the point of being one of the guys behind the music on J BALVIN’s megahit NEGRO.
He dropped this amazing Perreo Android Riddim back in the days, which triggered the inner beast on Canadian producer Caballo to take it to the Criminal level, which is exactly a combination of both.
PERREO CRIMINAL is available for ZERO PESOS at bandcamp or SC
Electronic producers’ mad dash to work with latin rhythms; After the hybrid blending of reggaeton and Dutch house and the massive appeal that dembow has right now, we have guys like Junior Ponce, a Venezuelan living in Buenos Aires dropping some mad latin bass called MUEVEN which relies on the wiggly instrumental hook that is often popular in moombahton.
Track is simply a bomb to be enjoyed for personal abuse or at any dj set!!
