the lab review

Bersa Discos makes further in-roads into the Cumbia scene with this six tracker from Mexico's Toy Selectah (who is also slated for an upcoming Mad Decent release). The selection starts off with the hypnotic "Lamento En La Jungla(1)," which samples an obscure Cumbia-psyche track by Los Mirlos. The dowtempo "Hay Guey(2)" maintains a traditional Cumbia feel, enhanced by some well-placed drums. "Cocobola(3)" represents the first "Raverton" track here, which is a sped-up version of Cumbia / Reggaeton. B-side begins with a Boys Noize remix(4) done up Cumbia style, lots of crossover potential here (also a great transitional track for DJs). From there the EP gets deeper into club mode with two versions(5,6) of "Mundo Querido," a thick song which features Batucada-style percussion. Excellent consistency throughout, but really, where else are you going to find this stuff? Limited to 500 vinyl copies.
