Attendees can expect a high-energy set drawing from MIS's extensive catalog, including albums like *Méjico Máxico*, *Piñata*, and *Disco Popular*. Lara's work has been featured in video games such as FIFA and Grand Theft Auto V, and he contributed to the animated film *Coco*, giving his live performances a rich, cinematic quality.
This is a rare opportunity to experience one of the leading acts of the Mexican electronica movement in an intimate London setting.
