XLR8R posted a podcast mixtape for your listening pleasure while recent issues of The Fader, Urb and NME feature Zizek's story and photos.
Buenos Aires has grown ZZK Records into a full-fledged outlet of mayhem. From long nights of party heat in the capital of South American culture, Zizek brings a blend of old and new, rural and urban, where the first and third worlds share the dancefloor and make plans to hook up after the party.

Zizek brings deejays, live musicians, and dance to each night of digital cumbia prowess. With recent releases that send cumbia into minimal electronica, dancehall, reggaeton and dub territory, ZZK Records is headed back on its North American Tour for continued growth spurts with global fans.
