BETTY'S MUSTACHE - CHILLANDO
From a part of LA that is known as East of the river. Bettys Mustache began in 2008. After Jon's mother (Betty) and Martin's father (Mustache) passed away in '07, music became the much needed therapy. A couple of years later Jon met Alex (Conga player) while jamming at the Venice Beach drum circle. David (Bass) has been Alex's next door neighbor since they were kids. Both individually have added a new feel to the music and groove. The band incorporates a heavy dose of hip hop themed covers done in a Barrio or Urban Cumbia style. It's a crazy blend of Hip Hop with Rock and Cumbia. It makes for same real hip and butt shaking music. This 1st effort titled "Chillando" or Llorando or Crying is a song about heartbreak and betrayal, real bad betrayal, Spanish novela style betrayal, the wailing guitar lets you know that from the get go. Side B is a 2 for 1, because you 2 songs on this side! Tu Quieres Bailar? Is a straight up future back yard boogie Cumbia classic with hints of Zapp and Roger. Changuito , the bonus track, is a rapid paced Banda inspired floor stomper. Dj's YOU need this.

LA DIABLA - LA RECETA/LA PODEROSA
La Diabla has been "cumbiando" since before it was cool. The name "La Diabla" is derived from an old Celso Pina tune. La Diabla was a side project that stemmed from the band "Koņorteņo" based out of Tijuana. During the turn of the century the project blossomed after numerous trips to Monterrey Mx where they immersed themselves in the rich culture and music of Colombia that was a prevalent subculture known as Los Colombias Their music can be powerful and aggressive, romantic and cheerful, even dark and macabre. There's something for everyone to dance to. The group has been described as Andres Landero meets N.W.A, but with masks, La Sonora Dinamita meets Daft Punk. Regardless, La Diabla is here to make you move and make dance floors bounce. This is their 1st vinyl release. 2 stellar efforts on this 7" record. Cumbia Sabanera is what they play. It's a style of Cumbia developed in the Caribbean a region of Colombia. Somehow it made its way to Monterey Mx and over to Tijuana and up north to LA.

LECHE - EL SAMURAI
Leche is a 5 piece outfit from the greater Los Angeles area. They have been gigging in and out of LA proper and making crowds dance with their Tropical Latin Funk stylings and their psychedelic Cumbia rhythms. Incorporating sounds from Jazz, blending in the Funk and touching everything off with some Latin seasoning. This is the LECHE recipe. El Samurai, originally performed in 1976, Hidden amongst Rumba and Flamenco tracks on a private press EP from Spain, El Samurai is a beast of a track. This was the perfect tune for LECHE, their a tight knit cast of players. The drum break is ridiculous, the chorus is hypnotizing, percussion is on point, the horns are bouncing off of each other and you can't help but groove along to EL Samurai. B side is Goliath, this Jazz Funk instrumental track starts off with pounding horns and drums and grooves into a guitar and saxophone get down.
