el supermercado? que comico!
can anyone give a report/update on local artists/releases from spain or
puerto rico? they are two of my most favorite places in the world (ok so im
a bit biased) and i'd love to support local artists from those scenes and
play their stuff on my show.

>away from the rest of the jarocho scene and remains one of the best
>Mexican Electronic musicians of late. I cannot wait for his album to come
>out.
>
> 2. Noiselab Compilation 001
>
>This is simply awesome. Almost half of the songs come from DJ Uriel E,
>formerly of Abstract Massive and currently at the head of Bounce, the deep
>house radio show and monthly night at Colmillo club (a must for any deep
>house fan when coming to Mexico City). The rest of the lineup is as
>impressive: Digi + Gabo, Club Soda (aka Decada 2) and the now defunct
>Sanchez + Ruiz team of, duh!, Andre Sanchez (formerly of Titan) and Alvaro
>Ruiz (aka Balboa, aka Ruisort, and formerly of Conjunto Perla Caliente!).
>From deep, deep house to groovy bleepie drum and bass, noiselab is the
>most sophisticated of the Mexican Collectives without a doubt and this
>compilation is a must. I think this is the third time this album has been
>released (and I heard the actual songlist has changed a little bit since),
>so the songs are not actually new, but now it is widely available thanks
>to a distribution deal with Asterisco, a division of Universal records in
>Mexico. The selection is by Hector Mijangos, and thank god, it is much
>much better than his own remixes!
>
>Noiselabs site: www.noiselab.com.mx

>If you read Spanish, check this CD review on Imagen:

> 3. Noiselab Compilation EP 002
>
>This second release by Noiselab is still dominated by house beats, but
>lacks the depth of its predecessor (even though it includes one track from
>Compilation 001 (Club Soda: Fizz my Soul)). Digi+Gabo and Yo+Yo deliver
>solid house tracks, but legendary (?) DJ Koggi (aka Erich Martino, former
>Abstract Massive and current host of Referencia 98.5 fm) gives us a pretty
>disappointing house track, called organik fantastik, which unfortunately
>is neither. The CD also contains some extra goodies from the
>excellent Noiselab designing team: icons, wallpaper and screeensavers. I
>still have not installed them, so I cannot tell you much about them.
>Plus, it gives you access to extra downloadable material online.
