MKRNI

About

MKRNI (Makaroni) is an electronic (psycoelectropical) music band born in Santiago, Chile, in 2008. The lineup by Marcelo Miopec, Roman S and Elisita Punto brings a fusion of dance rhythms with psychedelic influence that tends to include Latin/Andean sounds. MKRNI’s live performances are typically fully-perspired, unrestrained dance parties. MKRNI uses synthesizers, keyboards, drum machines, multivocal effects, and miscellaneous percussion. With its unprejudiced rhythms, the band aspires to expand sound and to combine different influences. MKRNI's first album “Maca & Roni Deluxe” was issued in 2009, and then followed in 2011 by “JUMPER”, their second production.
