Stay Free Recordings are ready to make 2021 a big year as they prepare for a new partnership with Viva! Presents.

Announced earlier this week, the Long Beach based record label is partnering up with the creator behind Viva! Pomona in order to help to give extra love to Mexican artists byway of their new Mexican Candy vinyl collection.

Thought up by Stay Free Recording’s founder Jon Halperin and local promoter Rene Contreras, Mexican Candy is a series of 32 limited vinyl releases featuring artists from all 32 Mexican states. Up first being two artists from the city of Hermosillo in the state of Sonora- Margaritas Podridas and Señor Kino.

Both artists falling in the shoe-gaze meets punk/grunge categories, the vinyl will feature one song by each artist- Side A being “Estrella Fugaz” by Señor Kino and Side B being “Wow” by Margaritas Podridas.

Officially going on sale this Friday, February 12, the release will include 200 physical records- split between 100 baby blue and 100 black pressings. The single will be a limited edition print, and will not be reprinted according to the company’s Bandcamp page.

You can pre-order the vinyl now, on Stay Free’s Bandcamp, and be sure to stay tuned for future Mexican Candy single announcements, coming soon.
