Kartel's first release with ZZK Records will be the scene defining 'Future Sounds of Buenos Aires' released on CD, 2xLP and digital on 5th November.
On the album, rural South-American styles fuse with electronic futurism on this stunning snap shot of the burgeoning experimental electronic scene that has emerged in Buenos Aires over recent years.
