Train Wreck Mix - London Session

Toy Selectah

Sones del Mexside, Mad Decent, Mexico

Antonio Hernandez is in the unusual position of being both well-established artist in his role as driving force behind champion Mexican '90s hip hop outfit Control Machete, and up-and-coming raverton remixer, Toy Selectah. The whiz DJ and producer was busily creating an individualised hybrid sound of south American riddims, nueva cumbia and jump-up soundsystem styles, as well as creating refixes that fused Lil Wayne, Morrissey and Diplo with his energetic local styles. Last year the Mad Decent and Bersa Discos affiliate took a call from Vampire Weekend: after a whirlwind weekend in Mexico City they asked the Monterrey native to create one of his specialised melds of their new album and Contra Meld was born, switching the Weekend's hi-life lines with new-school electro - and taking the man like Toy to a whole new audience. Connecting points north, south and well, all over the compass: that's Toy Selectah!
