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.

Mr Opolopo is back in Da' House of Imagenes Recordings with an absolute groover remix of Los Charly's Orchestra tune: Vibration.

Originally produced by Juan Laya & Jorge Montiel under an intergalactic Disco Funk influence, the track now expands into a much wider gamma of pioneering proto boogie sounds, skilfully crafted and curated by the ingenious producer / remixer: Opolopo (Aka. Peter Major).

Featuring the mighty Xantone Blacq on vocals, the 2002 dance classic (originally released by the French duo: Cassius) is taken into a wonderful dimension of modern Disco-House sounds, whilst still connected to those golden days of electronic music of the late 90's / early 2000's.

And here it comes Birdee and Oyobi joining Jorge Montiel, Juan Laya & Andre Espeut in order to provide an awesome package of remixes of the single "Universal Flow", released on the London based Imagenes Recordings imprint as part of a new series of curated collaborations to be rolling along through the months to come.

Universal Flow" celebrates music as a life force, guiding us to find our rhythm and connection in the universe.

Lyrics:

Now I'm rolling back the days listening to Motown

I want all their bass lines in my life

You can tell by the way

they'll make you feel better

In the right space

In the right time yeah….yeah eh….

I just thought of something now

It's not just music

Heard the other day

Yeah music is Life….

Yeah such a natural high

There's nothing better

I know

Find your space in time

Universal flow

Got to get it right

(get it right)

The universe is always right (get it right)

All around there's something there for us all

And it all makes sense when you know

Now it always takes some time to feel the flow

Now it always takes some time

And I'm just saying

Find your space in time

Universal flow

Find your space in time

Universal flow...
