Created with a diverse range of emerging and established talent on the Los Angeles scene and even further afield, composer and percussionist Carlos Niño presents ‘More Energy Fields, Current’. Mixed together like a DJ set, the album’s ten tracks flow into each other, ambient passages leading into rarified hip-hop grooves and jazzy atmospherics.
