reissue

14 salsa classics on 180 gram vinyl.

the mex machine ep features 5 original tracks, each showcasing a different side of the toy selectah sound. >sonidero compay< is a big meeting of the minds, featuring the reggaeton king dj blass over a proper cumbia beat from toy. toy revs all the way up to 150bpm territory with >la ravertona<! (strap on your glow in the dark cowboy boots). most tracks fall somewhere in the middle of >sonidero compay< and >la ravertona<. toy teams up with mad decent label-mate mumdance for >anni riddim<, a good example of toys personal hybrid land. mex machine is a milestone release for one of the most exciting and influential artists coming out of mexico today!
