BENJI CANDELARIO in TRUE FORM

Transitori Music's promise to deliver unadulterated pressure continues as it serves up TUMAINI. A collaboration between NYC's Underground DJ hero, Charo Velecio and DJ/Producer Benji Candelario, TUMAINI EP Velecio's production debut fuses her Cuban roots with today's deep club scene. It abandons constraints and infuses an Afro-Cuban affair with tech style drums, rolling bass lines, live percussion and tight lead synths. This four track EP immerses you into the deep and is beautifully arranged by Benji Candelario, keeping your dance floor on lockdown in true Candelario form. The EP also features the vocal talents of Caja Dura's Abi Holliday, a rising star in the Rumba circuit. Honoring Velecio's vision to integrate and fuse the many sounds and forms of music that she grew up appreciating, TUMAINI is an absolute killer! Huge beats, tribal rhythms, great vocal hooks, a versatile EP that can be worked into a variety of different DJ sets today. Absolutely one for the books!!!
