Imagine if Fatboy Slim was Mexican, that’s Instituto Mexicano del Sonido. If you don’t know who Fatboy Slim is, don’t worry, I’ll get to him sooner or later. Instituto Mexicano del Sonido is this amazing blend of traditional Mexican music and dance DJ type programming. I’m actually surprised no one ever thought of doing it before, but I’m glad that the people who did think of it were Mexican. I found Instituto Mexicano del Sonido through MySpace. One day I was logging in, and they were the featured band. I looked into them, and here I am a fan. MySpace has only successfully put me onto one other band, but that’s another story for another day. They take older Mexican songs and added electronic elements, sampling brilliance at work. That's not to say that they don't make original pieces or sample other things. I have two of their three albums; Méjico Máxico and Piñata. Their third album, the amusingly named, Soy Sauce came/comes out this year, but I haven’t had a chance to get it or it hasn't come out yet. I'm not exactly sure either way. You should be listening to Instituto Mexicano del Sonido.
