Bersa Discos #6

I just got a bunch of new vinyls the other day (thanks to a great sale on Turntable Lab) and one of the standouts was the new installation in the Bersa Discos series. I've been following these releases from the start, and they constantly blow me away with their quality and the diverse roster of artists they've gathered. Past releases have gone all over the place with contributions from Toy Selectah, Uproot Andy, Oro11, Hijo de la Cumbia, and Sonido de Principe. If you haven't heard any of the Bersa Disco releases I'd recommend that you check them out right away (digital and vinyl from Turntable Lab). For their sixth installation, Bersa Discos called on New York's Sabo (who also captains the phenomenal Sol Selectas series) for his take on the emerging genre of digital cumbia. Sabo, known for his tropical-inspired house tracks, blends cumbia sounds with healthy doses of Reggaeton, dancehall, and even B-more. Every track on this release is great but "Kuff Kumbia," his collaboration with Cassady and singer Shelly Thunder, really stands out. It's a warm and highly-accessible track that grabs you right away with its slow-burning groove and doesn't let you go until the very end. Just the kind of song we could use as winter comes closer and everything gets more depressing... it makes me want to sip a drink with an umbrella in it.
