Antonio Hernandez is in the unusual position of being both a well-established artist in his role as driving force behind champion Mexican ’90s hip-hop outfit Control Machete, and an in-demand raverton remixer, Toy Selectah.
In his talk at the 2010 Red Bull Music Academy, Toy Selectah discusses Control Machete, Bersa Discos, cumbia, raverton, and more.

The whiz DJ and producer has created an individualized hybrid sound of south American riddims, nueva cumbia and jump-up soundsystem styles, as well as energetic refixes of Lil Wayne, Morrissey and Diplo. In 2009, the Mad Decent and Bersa Discos affiliate took a call from Vampire Weekend: after a whirlwind weekend in Mexico City they asked the Monterrey native to create one of his specialised melds of their new album and Contramelt was born, switching the Weekend's hi-life lines with new-school electro - and taking the man like Toy to a whole new audience.
