Nika Roza Danilova, the singer, songwriter, and producer who since 2009 has released music as Zola Jesus, wields a voice that does that. When you hear it, it is like you are being summoned to a place that’s already wrapped inside you but obscured from conscious experience. This place has been buried because it tends to hold pain, but it’s also a gift, because once it’s opened, once you’re inside of it, it can show you the truth. Zola Jesus’s new album, Arkhon, finds new ways of loosing this submerged, stalled pain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn previous albums, Danilova had largely played the role of auteur, meticulously crafting every aspect of Zola Jesus’s sound and look. This time, she realized that her habitual need for control was sealing her out of her art. Arkhon sees Zola Jesus’s first collaboration with producer Randall Dunn (Sunn O))), Earth, Mandy soundtrack, Candyman soundtrack) and with drummer and percussionist Matt Chamberlain, whose prior work appears on albums by Fiona Apple, Bob Dylan, and David Bowie.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArkhon runs the spectrum from songs whose weight lies in their bare simplicity, like “Desire,” an elegiac piano composition about the end of a relationship that was recorded acoustically in a single take, to towering, groove-oriented tracks like “The Fall” and the tight, interlocking percussion and samples of a Slovenian folk choir in “Lost,” which propel narratives of collective despair and mutual comfort in kind. Through these turns, Arkhon reveals itself as an album whose power derives from abandon. Both its turmoils and its pleasures take root in the body, letting individual consciousness dissolve into the thick of the beat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite the darkness curled inside reality, there is power, too, in surrendering to what can’t be pinned down, to the wild unfurling of the world in all its unforeseeable motion.

Nightlife was her emancipation from the toughness of home life, and she fell into it, body and soul, totally seduced. Raves til sunrise; house music in unknown basements and warehouses -- the lure of the party was the perfect escape. “I was like a little club rat,” she laughs.

Nothing was going the way that she wanted it to go. So she gathered her things and embarked on what would turn out to be the first of a few of her coming-of-age stories -- a wave of bildungsromans. “Personal issues: mental health stuff, substance abuse stuff, stupid love;” she lists, but the way DEBBY says it, it seems as if she’s grateful for the valleys she had to walk through in order to see the version of herself we get today.

It finds percussionist\/singer Brijean Murphy and multi-instrumentalist\/producer Doug Stuart processing the impossible the only way they know how: through rhythm and movement. The months surrounding the acclaimed release of Feelings, their full-length Ghostly International debut in 2021 which celebrated tender self-reflection and new possibilities, rang bittersweet with the absence of touring and the sudden passing of Murphy’s father and both of Stuart’s parents. In a haze of heartache, the duo left the Bay Area to be near family, resetting in four cities in under two years. Their to-go rig became their traveling studio and these tracks, along with Angelo, became their few constants. Whereas Feelings formed over collaborative jams with friends, Angelo’s sessions presented Murphy and Stuart a chance to record at their most intimate, “to get us out of our grief and into our bodies,” says Murphy. They explored new moods and styles, reaching for effervescent dance tempos and technicolor backdrops, vibrant hues in contrast to their more somber human experiences. Angelo beams with positivity and creative renewal — a resourceful, collective answer to “what\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ehappens now?”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAngelo the car is a 1981 Toyota Celica they got off Craigslist during their first stint in Los Angeles, where Murphy and Stuart have since settled. “Such a bro-y, ‘80s dude car, it’s been super fun to drive around in a new town,” Murphy says. “He’s older than us, he’s a classic, he’s got a story.” It is a spiritual vehicle with a cinematic appeal, first dropping them off in an alleyway for the scene-setting intro, “Which Way To The Club.” The question is quickly resolved by “Take A Trip” as a cruising bassline mingles with crowd sounds, hand-claps, cuíca hiccups, whip-cracks, even a horse neigh. Brijean have found some club on this cross-dimensional trip — the kind of imagined space or chamber within one’s self capable of “shifting a fraction of who you are,” says Murphy. They wrote the track with the simple intention to be “as free as we could be,” adds Stuart, likening the flip on the B section to a realm unlocked: ”What if the world changed completely? You open the door to a new room.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNext is \"Shy Guy,\" a motivational anthem for the wallflowers among us. Murphy sets up the daydream: “We are in junior high, we’re on the dance floor, what’s going down, who is dancing, who is not, how are we gonna make them dance?” The narrator, the MC, hypes up the room as conga-driven rhythms bounce between languid synth and guitar lines. “Show me how to move…I feel something…I know you feel it too,” Murphy sings sweetly, calling back to the opening lines of Feelings, and this time the audience chants it back. It is easy to picture Brijean performing this one — something they only got to do a handful of times until more recently, opening shows for Khruangbin and Washed Out, an experience they found informative. Murphy explains, “It was inspiring to be out there and let loose more. To see how people can expand their expression on stage gave me more liberty with how I viewed my musicianship. My role for so long was to be a backup percussionist, so why would I ever leave the drums, you know? But then after playing all these runs, you see these artists and realize you can, you have permission.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Angelo” and \"Ooo La La\" deliver the danciest stretch in Brijean’s catalog to date. The title track adopts a deep house pulse replete with strings, hi-hats, and kicks. The latter opts for a funkier groove that foregoes verses in favor of warbled hums and extended breakdowns. What follows is perhaps the duo’s dreamiest run, a comedown initiated with the honey-hued interlude “Colors” drifting into “Where Do We Go?”, a tropicália reverie where Murphy contemplates the passage of time and space.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003eIt all culminates in \"Caldwell's Way,\" a fond farewell to their Bay Area community — “a part of my life that I knew couldn’t come back,” says Murphy. Above shimmering organ sounds, lush strings, and the birdcall of their former neighborhood, she wistfully articulates the uncertainty of moving on by remembering the characters dear to them. There’s the wisdom of their neighbor, Santos, who refused payment when helping them move out: “I’d rather have 100 friends than 100 dollars.” And the song’s namesake, Benjamin Caldwell Brown, a friend and club night cohort for many years. “I’m only miles away, maybe I’m just feeling lonely,” the line resigns to warm nostalgia, and “Nostalgia” runs the closing credits to this healing and transportive collection.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 400px; height: 439px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=3201079726\/size=large\/bgcol=333333\/linkcol=fe7eaf\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/brijean.bandcamp.com\/album\/angelo\"\u003eAngelo by Brijean\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Den of Wax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42801926176920,"sku":"","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0585\/8689\/0392\/files\/a0127461698_16.jpg?v=1693869331"},{"product_id":"poolside-pacific-standard-time","title":"Poolside - Pacific Standard Time","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eAvailable on 2021 official reissue by Le Vinyle Club - limited edition 1500 copies - 2XLP blue \u0026amp; yellow translucent\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFilip Nikolic and Jeffrey Paradise are good friends who are inspired by California, mezcal, dancing, good food, and friends.

Kode9's \"\u003cem\u003eInfirmary\u003c\/em\u003e\" seems to continue in the direction of his brilliant 2021 single \"\u003cem\u003eThe Jackpot,\u003c\/em\u003e\" a tense, intricately detailed mutation of footwork, trap, and U.K. bass. \"\u003cem\u003eInfirmary\u003c\/em\u003e\" similarly plays with tension and release, looping and reversing reflective pianos and vocal fragments over a stuttering rhythm before filtering in jazz samples and Amen breakbeats. A few different basslines boom out of the speakers, including some that seem inspired by amapiano log drums. Any time the track feels like it's relaxing into a groove, it switches up and gets more exciting. Burial's \"\u003cem\u003eUnknown Summer,\u003c\/em\u003e\" in comparison, lacks the adrenaline of Kode9's track, but it's just as stunning in its own way. While the elusive artist has saved some of his most rave-inspired productions for singles, this one feels more appropriate for living room listening than club play. Somewhat in the same vein as his collaborations with Four Tet, the beat consists of a minimal, low-key shuffle, while muted chords shiver on top. Stretched choral vocals and flickers of saxophone emerge, while the usual vinyl crackle coats everything. A child reflects on being alone, surrounded by nothing but clear blue sky and enjoying the peace and quiet. After a moment of heavenly grace, the beat bumps back in, and vocal phrases (\"put your arms around me\") jarringly cut in like memories that pop up unexpectedly. The feeling lingers somewhere in between bittersweet longing and tranquil relief, but a brief bit at the end of the song is surprisingly bright and bubbly, with a pitched-up \"in the sun\" being the only audible lyric. The track suggests that Burial prefers to spend his summer finding peace in a secluded nature area instead of partying and seeking thrills. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Paul Simpson\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 400px; height: 208px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=3065126359\/size=large\/bgcol=333333\/linkcol=ffffff\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/fabricoriginals.bandcamp.com\/album\/infirmary-unknown-summer\"\u003eInfirmary \/ Unknown Summer by Kode9 \/ Burial\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Den of Wax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42835551355032,"sku":"","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0585\/8689\/0392\/files\/a0559039148_16.jpg?v=1696094179"},{"product_id":"the-cinematic-orchestra-every-day","title":"The Cinematic Orchestra - Every Day","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAvailable on 20th anniversary 3 LP 140 gram translucent-red wax, including 4 bonus tracks\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e“in the simplest terms, a flawless collection.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePITCHFORK (8.6)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e“The beauty of Every Day is an understanding of Ron Carter, RZA, June Tyson, Sun Ra, Recloose, Theo Parrish and all that good stuff.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGILLES PETERSON\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Cinematic Orchestra have announced the first ever reissue of their bonafide classic album “Every Day” originally released 20 years ago.

What is generally found is a missing child's shoes accompanied by a small jack-o-lantern. Those children that are found are usually wandering through woods or farmlands with vacant expressions and unable to say anything other than to mumble the words \"Pumpkin Witch.\" Very clearly, these children undergo very serious mental and emotional trauma.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePerhaps related to the disappearances, three figures cloaked in darkness have been spotted in areas where these children go missing.

These stories vary to some extent, but they all describe a dark entity living in a dank hovel near a pumpkin patch that feasts on the flesh of children. In the stories, all that is left of each eaten child is their footwear and a small jack-o-lantern. It would appear that the disappearances that have been occurring are related to the stories of the Pumpkin Witch. I will not publicly state that I believe a witch that lives in a pumpkin patch is eating children, however something strange is plainly happening here.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese disappearances always happen throughout the month of October, however due to different bits of found information, I have reason to believe that something significant will occur when the moon is full, on the date of October 5th. Be wary and do not go out alone after dark on this date. If you hear or see anything related to the Pumpkin Witch, please contact me.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFeel free to spread this information.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRemember, October 5th.

The disappearances have begun, and it is only October 2nd, the second night of this most sinister of months. This, of course, will continue to go on throughout October. The authorities are too quick to latch onto the most conventional excuses without any evidence. None seem willing to dig below the surface of these disappearances year after year. Perhaps this is the sorcery of the Pumpkin Witch....\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnyway, the reason I am sending another message is because I have found more information. Due to certain pieces of the Pumpkin Witch legends viewed with a newly acquired acute awareness of the occult, I deduced that some kind of audiological evidence might be found where disappearances have occurred in the past. Lo and behold, at some of these sites, as well as at the large pumpkin patch in town, different unsettling things can be heard in the hours between midnight and dawn. It's as if some kind of demonic music from beyond our known plane of existence filters through. I have recorded these ghastly tunes onto audio cassettes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat is the significance of this? It is hard to tell for sure. My theories at this point along with all of my research are as follows: either this music is some kind of cry for help from the lost souls of the missing children, or it is some kind of warning. If it is a warning for an oncoming terror, this would support my theory of an abominable occurrence on October 5th. Extra caution should be exercised until further analysis can be made.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBe careful my friends.

Emotions shift from moment to moment, differences between digital and acoustic instruments more smeared than ever: a queering of time, space and sonics that feels equally playful and totally vital.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlongside the announcement comes “The Low”, a moody, metallic trip hop single lifted from the album. Speaking on the track Barnes comments, \"’The Low’ was based on a beat I’d originally intended for Yoko Ono, and features elements I made both at the start and end of the album, so ties together a lot of the sounds and emotions I was exploring during the writing process. The accompanying video directed with Sam Wiehl expands on some of my artwork\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand visual world that accompanies the record”.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“The Low” arrives shortly after the release of the “Butterfly Effect” single - part industrial electronica, part greyscale pop, shifting Forest Swords' world deeper into murkier, more paranoid territory, with a previously-unheard vocal sample by the legendary singer-songwriter Neneh Cherry. Upon its release the single received support from the likes of Pitchfork, FADER, DJ Mag, Stereogum, Clash, Line of Best Fit, Dork and more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile his previous album – the acclaimed 'Compassion' released in 2017 – saw Barnes toy with widescreen technicolour, the world of ‘Bolted’ is tightly wound, taught, with a sense of aching urgency like never before. Fizzing deconstructed synths, heavily distorted mallets and marimbas bounce off clattering beats and foggy vocals, all balanced out with lightly dancing woodwind instruments; a layer of dust covering the surface of every track.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElsewhere on ‘Bolted’ we hear 'Munitions' chugging industrial throb kick off the record, through to 'End's melancholy nostalgia, before plunging back into the psychedelic pounding of urgent closer 'Line Gone Cold', a rumination on grief with a signoff from the late Lee Scratch Perry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDefiant, desolate, and darkly beautiful: 'Bolted' cements Forest Swords as one of the most remarkable and singular voices working in electronic music.

I had a digital multi-tracker and a battery-powered cassette 4-track, some thrift store microphones, a Casio SK-1, some pedals, and a piano that came with the apartment I had moved into. I was constantly walking the streets recording wind in the trees, cars going by, crosswalk tones, anything that made sound. I was ravenous to explore the city’s surroundings with headphones and a microphone and then return to my apartment and make noises deep into the night. I was hanging microphones out my window on a rainy day and duetting with it on a friend’s Rhodes keyboard. I would sample small sections of LPs with a loop pedal and play a loaned guitar along with the samples. I would take apart broken effects pedals and try to rewire them to do something unusual… something I hadn’t heard before. I had no idea what I was doing and I was doing it. The mixture of these experiments and the emotional highs and lows of this stage in my life were the backbone of the music I was making. I had stopped making things that were trying to copy what I heard in others and had begun making sounds just for myself. Lambent Material collected these feelings and experiments. It was my first release under the name Eluvium. To this day I try to keep a hold of this blend of pure emotion and endless experimentation and to be unaware and unconcerned with what the outcomes may be and only with what it means to me.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e– Matthew Robert Cooper (Eluvium)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 400px; height: 307px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=1632601829\/size=large\/bgcol=333333\/linkcol=e32c14\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/eluvium.bandcamp.com\/album\/lambent-material\"\u003eLambent Material by Eluvium\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Den of Wax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42935321395352,"sku":"","price":27.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0585\/8689\/0392\/files\/a3531980473_16.jpg?v=1698621720"},{"product_id":"radikal-guru-beyond-the-borders","title":"Radikal Guru - Beyond the Borders","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAvailable on \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2x12\" heavyweight 180g wax with printed sleeve\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of Moonshine Recordings' flagship artists, Radikal Guru is going from strength to strength for more than a decade and 2020 is a further proof of it.

On the one hand, there are gqom beats, interlaced with activist chants and and Tony Allen’s live Afrobeat drums; on the other, there are warm, lyrical meditations, aided by horns and keys. The name “Keleketla” means “response”, as in “call-and-response”, a title which speaks to the project’s aim: to build out a shared musical ground, traced across different recording sessions, continents apart.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt all started with Johannesburg’s Keleketla! Library, an independent library and media arts initiative, stocked since its 2008 inception with donated items from the local community. Run by artists and musicians Rangoato Hlasane and Malose Malahlela, they met Ruth Daniels of the charity In Place of War (where a portion of the proceeds from the record will go to) who asked who they would choose for a musical collaboration with South African artists. Ra and Malose named Coldcut. The UK duo responded to the invitation to make a trip to South Africa for the recording sessions (supported by the British Council) and so the story started to grow. The duo had long nurtured an interest in South African jazz, and it was through Mushroom Hour Half Hour co-founder Andrew Curnow, whose label and collective have been part of the vanguard of a new generation of jazz-influenced acts from Jo’Burg and beyond, that they were connected to the players for the sessions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe main sessions took place at Soweto’s Trackside Studios, where they started a set of songs and settled down to rehearse and record them. Upon returning to the UK, Black and More sought out extra collaborators, setting up sessions with musicians who could expand and re-imagine the album’s horizons. In many cases, this meant building on the sessions in Soweto, such as in ‘Crystallise’, where Tamar Osborn’s sax parts were added to the lyrics that Yugen Blakrok laid down in Trackside. In other cases, they led to new tracks altogether, such as ‘Freedom Groove’, which came out of an off-the-cuff jam between Tony Allen and Matt Black; Allen’s drum part was taken to build a new track, overlaid with fat, battle-cry brass from Antibalas, and a powerful call to freedom from The Watts Prophets in L.A.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMusic and politics is a recurring theme on the record, most notably on ‘Future Toyi Toyi’, recorded in Khayelitsha, which features a recording Black and More made of hip-hop activists Soundz of the South, singing a revolutionary chant, referenced in the title, combined with – amongst other elements – a gqom track by Durban producer DJ Mabheko for the single version. Their creation was partly inspired by their experiences with the Keleketla! Library, who held a party during their stay. At the party, they saw the library’s co-founder Hlasane mix a recording of a student chant into a fiery, uptempo moment in his set, sending the crowd into a frenzy. It was a moment where they were reminded of how closely entwined politics and music can be. “It was almost a religious experience,” recalls Black, “to see the effect music could have in galvanising the audience like this.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLikewise, ‘Papua Merdeka’ centres around a political invocation. Led by Benny Wenda, it’s a call for freedom for the nation of West Papua from Indonesia, which Wenda fled in 2004 after being persecuted by the Indonesian military. He now leads a campaign from his home in Oxford, where the vocals for the track were recorded. Tony Allen, the rhythm behind Fela Kuti’s Afrobeat revolution, recorded the drums, along with Miles James, a guitarist who’s played with Michael Kiwanuka and Yussef Dayes, and who – as the son of an old family friend – featured in a Coldcut video when he was just a year old.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Keleketla!” is about finding musical connections. Starting with the tight community around the Keleketla! Library, this project has grown out of those closely forged bonds that can develop around music. Recalling the records he was introduced to and friends made while in South Africa, More says, “There’s music lovers everywhere and that’s what we thrive with.” “Keleketla!” is about embracing that call-and-response tradition, and seeing where it takes you.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 400px; height: 472px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=1196649767\/size=large\/bgcol=333333\/linkcol=ffffff\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/keleketla.bandcamp.com\/album\/keleketla\"\u003eKeleketla! by Keleketla!\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Den of Wax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42977039024280,"sku":"","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0585\/8689\/0392\/files\/a0036176213_16.jpg?v=1699319550"},{"product_id":"sleepyeyes-forgot-about-her","title":"Sleepyeyes - Forgot About Her","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAvailable on black wax\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYour eyes are burning, itchy, and tired.

To date, he’s released 5 albums (including “La Estrella”) which have expanded far outside of Latin America and can be heard playing at the top festivals in Europe and the U.S. such as MUTEK, Roskilde, and Vive Latino.
