Since then, the band has recorded three eclectic albums – Kinky (2002), Atlas (2003) and Reina (2006) - been nominated for three Grammy’s® , composed music for films and played countless gigs all over the planet in front of hundreds of thousands, inducing dance floor hysteria and winning legions of enthusiastic fans.

There most recent release, Rarities blends sounds that are contemporary and traditional, dynamic and contemplative, innovative and yet strangely familiar.

Atlas By Kinky

Recorded in two completely different locations; an isolated ranch in the jungle and the thriving city of Los Angeles, ‘Atlas’ traces this contrast of environments and exhaustive travelling in every song, to make a worldly wise, rock driven second album. Sonically ‘Atlas’ is a clash of the organic and the digital. Lyrically, it roams from savouring all the moments you can, to acknowledging and appreciating things that most take for granted. Starting at home in Mexico with propulsive single ‘Presidente’, the Kinky journey begins…A truly masterful follow-up to their eponymous debut.

Kinky By Kinky

Undeterred by genres, 'Kinky' simply mashes it all together. Morphing Mexican folk songs with pulsing electronic grooves, the group add funky guitars, Vocoder-treated Spanish vocals, street percussion and a war-chest of psychotic sound samples for mayhem-fuelled music. Call it Latino house or Mexicali electro, whatever, 'Kinky' kills. Upending previous electronica equations, 'Kinky' never forgoes a good song for a good mix, finding its unique synthesis in a rare mesh of both principles. This is the future - greet it with a smile.

Primer Amor (DJ Sneak Mix) By Kinky

DJ Sneak adds a very signature sounding tough club mix to Kinky's latin flavoured house cut. The B side has the original album track plus an acapella version where you can listen to Gil alone reciting the poetic lyrics of the song so beautifully, it makes you melt! This limited edition vinyl was released through London/WEA/Sonic360 at the end of 2002 in UK only.

Cornman By Kinky

Everyday situations in Monterrey are portrayed with an enchanted light - such as the acrobatic vendor immortalised on 'Cornman', an old man who sings and does back flips to entice his customers to purchase his corn. Mexican producers Tovar, SLSS (Sistema Local) and Kinky Basselina have come up with some classic totally fresh-sounding deep house and ragga/cumbia remixes - a must-have for all DJs constantly looking for the next dancefloor killer tune to uplift the masses.
