Our Berlin sister label, Chusma Records, is releasing today the “Kosmik Chankleja” EP by Colombian champeta dons Makina Del Karibe. The release features remixes by AJ Holmes & Hackney Empire, Hat n´Hoodie, SOS Moroka and myself, Daniel Haaksman. Being a big fan of the original tune, I made two remixes: A more uptempo, ghetto inspired version and a proper club remix of “Maki Man”. The club version you can download for one week for free from below. Spread the word!

El Maki Man (Daniel Haaksman Remix) by Chusma Records

The latest hype (and with good reason) from the latin American music scene, Bomba Estéreo from Colombia are kicking up a storm with their apparently rockin’ live show after playing some shows in Rio, Sonar and Lovebox in London. Lead singer Liliana Saumet has got real attitude on stage of which this video can only hint to. Love the flashes of Colombian street life (Bogota?) in the video, hot, colourful and tropically psychedelic.

Isabel Gonzalez Toro aka ISA GT is a DJ, MC, music producer and video director from Medellin, Colombia. Having chosen London as her base for the last few years Isa is known in the UK capital as resident of the infamous nights Girlcore and Musicalia, which she has taken around the world.

Man Recordings now proudly presents Isa GTs debut “Pa´Chikirri” EP. For the opener “Pela´o”, Isa takes us to an imaginary Colombian baile funk party, with hard hitting beats and tough raps that make any culo shake. “Pela´o” has been remixed in a banging ghetto tec version by Italian top dogs Crookers, as well as Rio De Janeiro´s tropical master João Brasil.

“Pa´Las Mamasitas” is a girl power song with a Cumbia influence. Lyrically, it´s on the lack of good guys in London. A radio and club friendly remix comes from Man Recordings boss Daniel Haaksman.

Two hot original tracks and three great remixes – ISA GT´s “Pa´Chikirri” EP will make many floors go mucho loco!!
