“Niño’s narrative arcs lead the listener down one celestial rabbit hole after another, swathed in comforting washes of sound.” – MOJO [★★★★ review of (I’m just) Chillin’, on Fire]

“The music drifts, floats and flows like the elements themselves...” – Rolling Stone DE

Today we are happy to share two new Carlos Niño & Friends singles, “Maha Rose North 102021, Breathwork” featuring Laraaji and Photay, and “Transcendental Bounce, Run to it” featuring Maia, Deantoni Parks, and Nate Mercereau. 

The tracks mark the third and fourth singles from Niño’s forthcoming album (I’m just) Chillin’, on Fire (out on 2xLP, 2xCD, Cassette, and digitally Friday September 15th). They follow the album’s lead single “Taaaud,” which Remezcla called “a balm of passion for those needing music to soothe the soul,” and the album’s second single “Flutestargate,” about which Treble Zine said: “It’s subtle, but there’s a great deal of beauty to uncover for those who seek it.”
