The compilation Electric Future Beats: Progressive: New Electronic Music From Argentina won the Premio Gardel 2012 award to the best electronic music album released in 2011. The compilation was released by Eternal Sundayand features 8 tracks by underground music producers from Argentina. The idea behind the album was to release something that contained in its title the words "electronic" "music" "Argentina" since an online search returned none.
The Premios Gardel awards are Argentina's equivalent to the Grammys and one of the few music awards in Latin America. They are organized by CAPIF, the Argentinean chamber of music labels. This was the 14th edition. The ceremony was held at the Usina del Arte, La Boca, Buenos Aires, and was broadcasted live on cable TV. A big after party with a red carpet was given, too.
This is the moment the electronic music award was announced:
Two years ago Eternal Sunday released the first two volumes of the Chill Out Sessions, by X-Tralounge, the project of composer, arranger and producer Sebastián Caffini, from Argentina. As its name implies, X-Tralounge style is instrumental lounge/ chill out music, with an organic, contemplative quality that makes it perfect for relaxation and slowing down. Both albums had an extraordinary response.
The third and fourth volume of the Chill Out Sessions are here. They are Chill Out Sessions: Meridians and Chill Out Sessions: Chrysalis. Just like the original albums, they feature a blend of the finest, world-class chill out/ lounge/ new age music.

Softcore Express are Eternal Sunday records’ official tribute makers: after releasing an electro tribute to grunge rockers Nirvana they decided it was time to pay homage to their home town, Buenos Aires by making electro versions of the two most known tango pieces in the world (since tango is the music from Buenos Aires). They are “La Cumparsita” and “El Choclo” (loosely versioned in the 50s as “Kiss Of Fire” for the American and European market).
As usual Softcore Express music has a furious electro beat with a hyper catchy quality. Unlike most blends between tango and electronic music, Softcore Express doesn’t add the bandoneon or tango accordeon, the typical instrument that gives tango its unique flavour. “We decided there was no point in recording bandoneons (tango accordeons). Why should we? When we tribute country music we don’t use banjos or steel guitars, and we covered Nirvana without using guitars, why should make an exception with tango?”, says Michael Etes, one of the producers behind the project.
There are many versions of these tangos around. These are probably the catchiest. Have fun.
