About This Event
Meridian Brothers and Mexican Institute of Sound share a DJ-set bill at the Knitting Factory. Meridian Brothers brings electrocumbia- and chicha-inflected arrangements shaped by Eblis Álvarez’s studio practice, while Mexican Institute of Sound folds DJ techniques into a band-minded rhythmic framework; both favor designed textures, careful transitions and sustained pulse over spectacle.
