Carlos Niño

• 2x Shiny Compact Discs in a Deluxe 8-panel digipack

Prolific percussionist/producer Carlos Niño's most singular, intentional work ever, featuring a vibrant and abundant gathering of "friends." Featured artists across 80+ minutes of music include Kamasi Washington, Nate Mercereau, bubbling violinist/vocalist V.C.R, Photay, Deantoni Parks, Laraaji, Jamael Dean, and more, including André 3000, who makes an appearance on flutes. Unique sounds recall DJ Premier & QTip-like architectures made from fluid explorations and minimalist musical atmospheres.
