Mexican Independent Music guru Camilo Lara delivers two of the absolutehighlights of his stunning album Piñata.

El Microfono is a funny catchysong with a piano riff that keeps your head nodding at all times.Nickodemus took this and has delivered an absolute party number led byace rolling drums and groovy afrobeatnik guitar.

The kind of heavyhitter you would expect from Nicko's amazing NY party, Turntables on TheHudson.Para no vivir desesperado could be described as a killer Mariachi HipHop track. It blends a cumbia beat with some astonishing horns in theBanda Norteña style.

Fans of M.I.A and Diplo should check this one out.NSM...PSM (No somos machos pero somos muchos / we are not machos but weare many) is a turntablism combo from Mexico DF and who have delivered awicked remix.

Imagine Daft Punk drinking Tequila with De La Soul andPerez Prado. Not sure if this is an accurate way to describe it, butit's funny to imagine the DaftPunkers drinking Tequila shots with theirspace helmets on.

The package is completed by an outstanding remix byDiesler, delivering the goods from Brighton. Expect fat beats!
