About ZZK Records
ZZK Records is a homegrown, artists' collective launched recently out of Buenos Aires, Argentina. ZZK Records evolved from Zizek Club, the weekly party in Palermo, capital of South American hip, where visiting artists and resident deejays attract consistent crowds of global, street music fans. At Zizek, cumbia gets thrown in a sonic blender with minimal electronica, dancehall, reggaeton and dub mashups, and original beats.Â
ZZK Records artists and Zizek Club are enjoying international attention after a SXSW appearance and follow up tour of the U.S., Canada, and Mexico that included a month of consecutive raucous parties. XLR8R posted a podcast mixtape for your listening pleasure while recent issues of The Fader , Urb and NME feature Zizek's story and photos.Â
Buenos Aires has grown ZZK Records into a full-fledged outlet of mayhem. From long nights of party heat in the capital of South American culture, Zizek brings a blend of old and new, rural and urban, where the first and third worlds share the dancefloor and make plans to hook up after the party. It was too good to stay locals only way down south of the border and now Zizek is on the prowl, on tour, on your computer, and in your radar. Â
Zizek brings deejays, live musicians, and dance to each night of digital cumbia prowess. With recent releases that send cumbia into minimal electronica, dancehall, reggaeton and dub territory, ZZK Records is headed out on its first European tour for continued growth spurts with global fans.
