Mexican Institute Of Sound – ‘Mejico Maxico’ From: gigwise.com

By day Camilo Lara works as the head honcho of EMI Mexico, whilst his alter ego recording moniker of Mexican Institute Of Sound travels by night through the 20′s to 60′s timezones to blend his cut ‘n’ paste aesthetics to a crate diggers lust for the latino riddims of cha cha and rhumba, as well as dub, bhangra and skanking reggae. ‘Mejico Maxico’ features a patch work of electro-doodles and etch-a-sketch skewwiffery that takes in a sideways glance of the pace of life in contemporary Mexico City. His 2007 album ‘Pinata’ was hailed by Rolling Stone as one of the best ten albums of the year, and on ‘Mejico Maxico’ M.I.S. comes across like a manic Fatboy Slim with the musical palate of Mr Scruff coupled with the trad. of Thievery Corporation with all the sass of a lap-top Manu Chao. “*
