Mix of cumbia goodness from Dutch producer/dj Sonido Del Principe.

“From his HQ in the south of Holland, SONIDO DEL PRINCIPE, is slowly conquering the ever expanding music world. His edits and remixes have gracedsome of the best blogs out there and people in the know have name checked him as one of the leading CUMBIA/NU CUMBIA producers and dj’s/Sonideros in Europe. Having played the largest festival in Holland, Lowlands, just last week with his friends THE PERONISTS, CUMBIA COSMONAUTS and DJ VAMANOS, and totally levelling the audience with a great mix of CUMBIA music and positive vibes, here’s a nice mix for you to share and enjoy. Recorded at the Cul de Sac bar, where Sonido Del Principe hosts a monthly night called GENERATION BASS, this mix is full of exclusive SDP edits and remixes.”

Bersa Discos got a new release out since last week, “Bersa Discos #4″. The have gone in somewhat of a different direction for this one, for a label focusing on cumbia and other tropical sounds, and got tracks from Brooklyn DJ/producer Uproot Andy and Dutch producer Sonido del Principe.

They gave us a mp3 from the release called “La Vida Vale La Pena” and it’s by Uproot Andy. You might know him from his recent Guacharaca Migration mixtape. He’s also an unofficial cohort of DJ Rupture’s Dutty Artz collective. He got three tracks for “Bersa #4″, all of which sample classic Afro-Colombian tunes. This one samples a track from Petrona Martinez.

Go buy the record over at Turntable Lab.

If you are in San Francisco tomorrow be sure to visit their 1-Year Anniversary of their monthly Tormenta Tropical party. They got Heatwave coming out from London and Paul Devro from Mad Decent. It should be an amazing party.
