A mysterious note was left at our doorstep recently, announcing the newest release from digital bandito (and past Brasky.org interviewee) Mexicans with Guns. He is joining forces with Euro bass assassin Robot Koch on the latest installment from Friends of Friends, a compilation series showcasing artists who get an opportunity to collaborate and remix one another.
Featured remixers include the buzz-cultivating Mux Mool and touring beatmaker Alex B – check it out:

Somewhere in Texas, the neighbors haven’t been getting good sleep. Pictures are rattling off walls, and car alarms offer clues on the recent whereabouts of a mysterious masked man. His real name is known to few, but most know him as Mexicans with Guns. Those who have seen him report bass-heavy assaults on popular musicians, slicing and distorting their most valued creations and coldly showcasing his work in dark, smoky rooms around the US (Sample the evidence below). Mexicans with Guns is a wanted man.
Recently we received contact from the fugitive who agreed to spare our subwoofers in exchange for a broadcast of his most recent sinister plans: An EP? Perhaps Mexicans with Guns is “merely” a musician whose made his name by peppering the underground with fiery dubstep remixes. Perhaps he is something more nefarious. But after sampling his first EP, Me Gusto, we thought our readers should be on high alert.
Decide for yourself after reading our conversation with Mexicans with Guns.
