TURNTABLE LAB

the lab review

Fauna is a crew of producers and MCs hailing from Mendoza, Argentina. At the forefront of the digital cumbia scene, Fauna describe their style as "Cumbia from the Jungle" and is characterized by the heavy bass sounds you'd normally associate with Baile Funk or even fidget house. This EP opens with a remix by the ever-versatile Ghislain Porier(1). His remix of "Gauchito Gil" is an immediate banger, low bpms never sounded so fierce. Flip to the b-side for three instrumental originals(2,3,4) and you really get a sense of how original this music really is (Sounds like if you dropped a shipment of 90s era drum machines and synths in a gypsy colony and came back 10 years later to hear the results). Also includes a remix by Douster(5).
