In Venezuelan history, it is said that once upon the time when the "Conquistador" arrived for first time to South America, they were searching for the kingdom of "El Dorado", which according the myth was supposed to be a secret kingdom of gold hidden away somewhere in the depths of the "new world".

Well, today a few centuries after that trip, we could say that somehow the myth did actually prove to be real, but with the slight difference that the Gold on this story wasn't really Golden, this was a new form of gold, which Spiteri describes on his last ever written song as: Black Gold (Oro Negro), Oil...

Oro Negro (Black Gold) - SPITERI (Juan Laya & Jorge Montiel Sea Breeze Rework)

Uplifting / Latino / Electronic / Jazzy fusion... that is probably the best way of describing the latest collaboration between the amazing Heidi Vogel and producers Juan Laya & Jorge Montiel, who in contrast to their previous collaborations change to 5th gear and go straight to a 127bpm, delivering a fast moving sonic experience, condensing and entire spectrum of eclecticism and dancing force, yet rooted to the organic / musical philosophy that has always characterized the skills of this crew.

A future classic in the NEO Latin world, but also a brilliant crossover.

Eclipse #52 (Feverball Radio Show 203 Mixed By Ladies On Mars & Special Guest CoronelRevolver)

The starship of LCO takes an intergalactic trip into the deeper spectrums of Jazz/Funk/Disco/Latin fusion, crossing into a new sonic dimension, a new portal of sounds & frequencies tuned in perfect harmony for the development of what is probably the most advance production ever executed by the "LCO intersonic research project" better known as Los Charly's Orchestra (lead by producers Juan Laya & Jorge Montiel since 2007).

The sonic excursion goes into the most distant spaces of the galaxy, bringing back into the earth the most tangible proof of human dedication and persistence translated into sound efficiency and optimisation.

Vibration - Los Charly's Orchestra (Aka Juan Laya & Jorge Montiel)

Following their successful release "Vibration," which received support from renowned DJs like Louie Vega and achieved top positions on the Disco/Funk & Soul networks for multiple weeks, the LCO crew presents their latest single: "Open Up Your Mind," to conclude 2023 and kickstart 2024 in a proper sunshine boogie style.

Shifting into a mid tempo boogie lock, LCO features Jazz Funk head and long time collaborator Xantone Blacq on vocals providing the soulfulness, whilst Mr Milt Mavrakakis delivers the Rhodes magic & Hammond drive, all hugged around the unmistakable / flawless groove provided by Juan Laya on drums and percussion, Matheus Nova on Bass and Raphael Delfino on Guitar.

All under the production of Juan Laya & Jorge Montiel.
