From Mexico With Love (And Beats)

Mexican Institute Of Sound

"México"From 'Politico'The name Mexican Institute of Sound is indicative of this act's sense of humor: The band is actually one man, Camilo Lara — who is also the president of EMI Mexico. Lara's sound is as thoughtful as it is funky. He recently stopped by Alt.Latino to talk about what it means to be a musician during a tumultuous time in Mexico's history.

DJ Meketrefe (feat. Priscilla)

"La Niña (Chatarra Edit)"From 'La Niña (Chatarra Edit)'In much of Latin America, Meketrefe is slang for "fool," but this Meketrefe is an incredibly talented DJ based in Brooklyn. This collaboration with the vocalist of the Mexican group Quiero Club results in a track that's as hectic and exhilarating as Mexico City itself.

3Ball MTY

"Inténtalo"From 'Inténtalo'This party group hails from Monterrey, the heart of Mexican electronic music — and 3Ball MTY is, without a doubt, the genre's premier crossover band in Mexico. The group's massive hit "Intentalo" pushed it into the spotlight last year.
