Cani & Janice are Waya Waya (Soundcloud) from Mexico’s Aguascalientes. Like so much amazing stuff coming out of Mexico these days, they make beautifully mental tropical dance music – a collidoscope of jacking unrelenting kuduro beats, 3ballish pre-colombian samples and fuck knows what else that makes me want to run off into the jungle and …

Large Up on Okayplayer have just made this exclusive webisode clip of Maluca reminising about illegal NY …
