I've travelled a lot and concluded that it's Mexico which has the freshest, most alive music scene on the planet. I spent the last weekend there with Hector Mijangos from Noiselab records, who as well as exposing new talent has an international back catalogue to die for including Arcade Fire, the Kills, the Libertines and Interpol.
I started going down to Mexico two years ago and indie music was just a concept. Now the whole scene is exploding. I've seen Placebo play to 17,000-strong crowd crazier than the Glasgow Barrowlands on a Saturday night. You only have to DJ for the crowd to go completely off their nuts: last Friday, 400 music fans crammed into a little bar downtown and tore the place apart, with people dancing on the table I was DJing from.
Some of the bands are now on the verge of international success. Zoe are superstars in most of South America: if they chose to sing in English they'd be massive in the UK too. Red Queen and Subdivision (who the Yeah Yeah Yeahs love) have amazing potential as well. - guardian.co.uk
