Picture this - I was returning from a day at beach with a motley crew of New Yorkers two weekends ago- 'pimpin' the back seat- ice cream with sprinkles melting in my hand- my hair an abstract art form (read: salty fro). Suddenly, my friend Shyam put Mexican Institute of Sound in the CD player. As a laid-back jazzy dub beat commenced over crackling microphone, and as Camilo Lara began his fast-paced beat rap with tropicala flair, we four salt monkeys all started to beat our heads in unison, tap our toes on the ground, and launch big, broad smiles. My gleeful state provoked me to write down the name of the band on a frayed piece of napkin and make note to bring it asap to RCRD LBL.

Thus with pristine pleasure that only comes after salty, sunny days on the beach, I bring you Mexican Institute of Sound (or far more romanitically termed "Instituto Mexicano Del Sonido" in Spanish). Play it loud, windows down (and if possible, head out the window banging to the beat).
