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.
