Quantic y Los Miticos del Ritmo - "Hotline Bling"

I'm in need of a very specific kind of Bat-signal. It's the one I want to light the sky with after hearing this song that will alert the owner of Helmut the Pug that they need to re-cut their video of the dog dancing to "Hotline Bling" to this cumbia version from RR faves Quantic y Los Miticos del Ritmo.

Ocote Soul Sounds feat. Quantic & Chico Mann - "A Pesar La Vida b/w Not Yet"

Man Oh Man. "Not Yet" needs to be re-titled "Right Now." As in listen to this right now, and then again, and again...

Quantic - "Duvidó" feat. Pongolove

OH HELL YES. The single "Duvidó" isn't officially out on Tru Thoughts until St. Patrick's Day (like you need a reason to raise a glass) and the full-length Magnetica is even further afield with a May 5th release date but you can hear the first cut from Quantic's first release under his solo moniker since 2006 (!!) right now. Dig.

Quantic & Nidia Góngora - "Muévelo Negro / Ñanguita"

OH. GOD. YES. Nidia Góngora - part of the fantastic group of musicians responsible for the Ondatropica album that came out on Soundway a little over a year ago, has teamed up with Will Holland, aka Quantic (he of the midas touch) for an amazing 7' that you can hear in its entirety below. Heck, you can even flip the record yourself.

Quantic & Alice Russell - "Here Again"

Honestly, if the previous post didn't convince you to get the Q&A collabo, I don't know what will. But here's a little something more from the pair and the Combo Barbaro.

Los Miticos Del Ritmo - "Otro Muerde El Polvo"

A friend once told me that Tom Petty could shit on a disc and he would still buy it. I kinda feel the same way about Will Holland (aka Quantic). Though he's never taken a dump. Strictly golden.

Quantic and Alice Russell with the Combo Barbaro - "I'll Keep My Light In The Window"
