about

“Cumbia” in its original version was included in Empresarios’ 2011 debut album, Sabor Tropical, and it’s already been remixed by Nickodemus in a memorable version that was released digitally even before the album came out. So what’s the need for yet another remix eleven years later, you might wonder?

Well, for starters, “Cumbia” is a dope track, one of Empresarios’ best, and DJs keep playing it in their mixes as if it’s brand new. But mainly, The Gaff (a Canada-based DJ and break-beat connoisseur, who also happens to be from D.C.) gives it a whole new unexpected twist. Gaff takes the track in a dubby direction and adds sampled vocals in Spanish, turning it into something completely different and definitely worth a spin.

The Gaff has been hosting "Thursday Anything Goes" live streams on Twitch for over a year and built up an impressive following. Always taking a deep dive into his impressive record collection, make sure you tune in for one of The Gaff's live streams soon, they are a music lover's dream session. www.twitch.tv/thegafflive
