Mexican Institute of Sound (MIS) and Meridian Brothers join forces in Ruido Tovar, a cross-border collaboration that reinvents the tropical traditions uniting Mexico and Colombia. Drawing inspiration from icons like Rigo Tovar and the psychedelic era of Mexican cumbia, the project fuses danzón, son, cha-cha-chá, and experimental electronica into a vibrant new language. MIS's transgressive electronic tropicalism meets Meridian Brothers' avant-garde eccentricity, resulting in a sound that is both reverent and playfully distorted. Together, Camilo Lara and Eblis Álvarez pay homage to decades of musical exchange, taking tropical music to unexpected territories.

Use and Care. Vinyls
A simple guide to cleaning and caring for your hard drives:
Dry Brushing: Use an anti-static brush specifically designed for vinyl records. Brush the record counterclockwise before and after each playback to remove dust and particles.
Wet Cleaning: For a deeper clean, use a cleaning solution designed for vinyl records or a mixture of distilled water and isopropyl alcohol in a 3:1 ratio. Apply the solution to a soft, clean cloth or cleaning pad and rub gently in a clockwise direction.
Proper Drying: Make sure the vinyl is completely dry before placing it in its sleeve. Use a clean, lint-free cloth to dry the vinyl or let it air dry.
Proper Storage: Store vinyl records in their original sleeves whenever possible. Store them upright in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme heat.
Avoid Dirty Surfaces: Make sure the surfaces where you place the vinyl decals are clean to prevent dust and dirt from accumulating.
Handle with Care: Handle vinyl records by the edges and avoid touching the playing surface. Use a stylus in good condition and ensure the turntable tonearm is properly set to prevent unnecessary wear.
Avoid Spilled Liquids: Keep liquids, such as drinks or cleaning fluids, away from your vinyl records and the turntable area.
Turntable Maintenance: Ensure the stylus is clean and in good condition. Adjust and calibrate the turntable according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
