chiquitamagic is a Colombian born artist based in Toronto. She uses microtonal synths, her voice, and drum machines to produce her distinct sound. Her music can be described as cross genre tropi-pop with elements of jazz & dance music. She recently released her sixth album CURSI under the chiquitamagic moniker. The album features friends and collaborators such as MONONEON & Ambrose Akinmusire. She is a current touring member of KNOWER & long time collaborator of Genevieve Artadi & Louis Cole's solo music. She is also a part of John Hollenbeck’s GEORGE. Currently, she is working on her next release (coming out August 2024) as well as producing techno & diving back into the world of improvised solo piano. "Mexico Sexi Time‘s jumps between sinister synth lines, lo-fi dancefloor invitations and outright sentimental balladry serve a singular vision and just plain work." (cult montreal)
Born in Richmond, California,
drummer Brown is one of the most versatile and sought after drummers of
this generation. After years as an essential member of groups led by Ambrose
Akinmusire, Thundercat, and Flying Lotus – he’s also been tapped to round out
the sound for Esperanza Spalding, Avishai Cohen (trumpet), Terence Blanchard,
Bilal, Vijay Iyer, and many others – Brown is finally ready to extend his reach
beyond the drum set to lead his own band, NYEUSI. In June 2018 Justin released
his first album as a leader, NYEUSI, on Biophilia Records.
It is a modern-sounding and forward-thinking record in every respect, not
defined by genre, style, or groove. Brown himself says: “it’s a jazz album,
it’s a hip hop album, it’s an instrumental album. Jazz is living in the now.”
He says he can’t help adapting to all kinds of styles. “You have to have one
foot in the past and one foot in the future, and that’s what I hope for people
to hear when they hear this album.”
