Born, raised, and trained in the Panama jazz scene, we are so lucky to have our Harlem based brother, and Funky Seshwa resident instrumentalist on trumpet, Aquiles Navarro aka Squalito Romantico, grace us with an amazing guest mix of Latin heat for #008! If you've been to some of our parties it's likely that you've seen Aquiles rip it on the trumpet. 

It's 2 hours of mostly vinyl straight from Aquiles collection including some of his favorite jams from Fania + we even get a little guest appearance from friend NY Knick!

 If you don't know Aquiles, he's one of those cats who has been hustling hard from a young age and was taught by the greats. His musical journey started in Panama when he was in his early teens, where he was mentored by Panamanian jazz great Victor Paz (who played with Dizzy Gillespie, Eddie Palmieri, and many Fania greats) and Carlos Garnett, who played with Miles, Freddie Hubbard, and Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers.

Aquiles has seen great success touring with world-renowned touring Avante garde jazz group, Irreversible Entanglements, and can also be seen featured on modern and soulful dance music records produced by our friends David Marston and Jitwam.

Nico joined us in full effect for a friends and family weekender upstate at Glen Falls House in the Catskills, NY.

We've got a ton of heat from this weekend that we'll be dropping on the world soon. The energy was palpable!  Get ready to dance..

Nickodemus is known throughout the world for his diverse blend of soul-shaking styles, always remaining true to the roots of his beloved Turntables on the Hudson parties, a staple in the NYC live and dance music scene for the last 20 years. His sound is based in the connective tissue of his numerous live collaborations with artists across the world. This ethos is fully embodied in his record label, Wonderwheel Recordings, which not only releases some of the most eclectic sounds in global dance music, but also focuses deeply on artist development and longevity.
