:: M.I.S. ::

I’ve been plumbing the discography of Mexican Institute of Sound for the last few months… it’s interesting to me to hear what comes out of a childhood of Esquivel-soundtracked TV shows.

In this episode: Arling + Cameron, DeVotchKa, Ken Nordine, Kitty In The Tree, Klark Kent, Latin Playboys, Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, Mats / Morgan, Mexican Institute Of Sound, Petty Booka, Smugglers, Still Flyin, The Bronx, The Wrens, Tiny Masters Of Today
