MIXED BY Frikstailers

Do not be alarmed by the shiny, googly eyes. They may be from the future, but they are not aliens.

Frikstailers are bringing a whole new swag to the THUMP-o-sphere. As is readily evident in their swanky new MIXED BY, they come from a Cumbia perspective, but Frikstailers lay on so many layers of disparate influences that their sound is entirely unpredictable and new. It's like they're crafting the soundtrack to a daytime rager somewhere in the hidden tropics of the moon.

The Mexico D.F-via-Buenos Aires duo are often clad in ridiculous neon get-ups, but these two have a whole lot more than gimmickry going on. Reports from their remarkable Boiler Room London and Mutek Mexico performances mention that the duo appropriate video game interfaces as instruments. Wowzers.

Dive in to this mind-altering mix from Frikstailers and get your Monday started right—with a little weird on the side.
