Press Release :
During a eco-utopian pan-american roadtrip, involving a Mercedes Benz and a whole load of cooking oil, Martin Perna (Antibalas) became unexpectedly stranded in Austin, Texas for a couple of weeks. It was here that he hooked up with musically like-minded Adrian Quesada (Grupo Fantasma) and what you have here are the fruits of this chance collaboration.

Blurring the boundaries between afro-latin funk, hip hop and movie soundtracks, the pair enrolled the help of friends and musicians from bands such as El Michels Affair, The Mighty Imperials and the Soul Fire label roster to inject the live funk into the samples and loops they crafted. Taken from the full length "El Nino Y El Sol" album, we’re sure these 2 tracks will find favour in most DJs boxes.
