Sari Andoni (@zeitzatun ) brought his Palestinian roots to Driftwork Sound with the help of @rpaoloriggio@masonhankamer@rbarakat123@michaelmikulka & @ziyaddoany
“Longa Saba” is the first song I’m sharing from our #voicesofaustin project, which will feature Austin musicians who are enriching our music scene with their unique musical perspectives as immigrants from Colombia🇨🇴, Mexico🇲🇽, Guinea🇬🇳, Niger🇳🇪, Japan🇯🇵, and of course Palestine 🇵🇸
Stay tuned for more music, interviews, a vinyl record, and release show for ‘Driftwork Sound Presents: Voices of Austin’

Oof I hope you have some 🎧 for this stunning song by @howdymissmiranda as @other_vessels called “Angela”. I’m not alone in thinking Other Vessels is going places, and this video should clue you in on why. Catch Miranda playing solo or with the whole Other Vessels crew and you’ll be glad you did!
As always, go to the YouTube channel for higher quality uploads of all of the videos in the Driftwork Sound Sessions video series.
Captured with @soyuzmicrophones@stagermicrophones and @alderaudio mics into @coil_audio@capigear and AML #1073 preamps

Nothing but respect for the folks at @npr and the work they do—keeping people informed while opening doors to music from all corners of the world. One of our favorite spaces they’ve created is Tiny Desk: a platform that champions artists taking the road less traveled, across genres, sounds, instrumentation, and original voices.
For your consideration, Los Desechos from Austin, TX, sharing our Hecho In Austin cumbia track “Valentino.”
This one is made possible by the ATX dance community, our fans, friends, and familia—thank you for showing up and getting down with us!

We’re pleasantly surprised and truly honored to be nominated by the Austin Chronicle in the 2025 Music Poll.
This poll is a great chance to show love to the entire music ecosystem—bands, bookers, venues, sound crews, promoters, and everyone who keeps the wheels spinning.
It only takes a quick minute to vote. We’re listed in the “Latin Band” category.
Mil gracias for the continued support ❤️

Sending love and happy holidays to everyone who danced, showed up, brought friends, and made this year what it was. We’re grateful for the bands we shared stages with, the dancers who kept the floor alive, and all the new faces that became familia along the way.
Our debut vinyl Cumbias Levantamuertos is almost sold out—thank you for supporting independent music and helping keep original cumbias alive. We’re already working on the next LP with new sounds, themes, collabs, y más on the way.
Big S/O to @howdythunderhouse for the new book "Austin’s Music Scene: Your Guide to the City’s Most Iconic Venues" and for featuring us, and to the folks at @hotelvegastexas for providing a home base for cumbia bands all year long.
None of this happens without you.
You’re our people. We’re your people.
Los Desechos.
Austin and Houston dancers don’t play.
Psychedelic cumbias, chicha jams, live amps, slapping congas, packed dance-floors. Big love to the community keeping this music thriving. Grateful to be part of a community that shows up, gets weird, and dances like it means something.
More very soon 🔥

I’m excited to kick off the @driftworksound feature project with Gustavo, formerly of Mexico City & Monterrey, MX.
We’re working on a song he wrote for his band @plansonideroofficial , and featuring him on a new @grupo_los_desechos tune we’re working up.
Stay tuned for updates on the project! We’ll have quite a few more featured musicians from around the world.
