Niño is the primary producer and conceptual mind behind AmmonContact (together with Fabian Ammon, a unique production duo, releasing mostly instrumental, jazz-influenced, soulfull hip hop) , the founder of LA based creative music ensemble Build an Ark, credited for bringing soul-jazz singer Dwight Trible to prominence as well as helping Daedelus develop his musical talents. Carlos Niño is one of the original DJ's and programmers at dublab.com and involved in the (LA) music scene for over 10 years as a DJ/producer/composer/musician/writer/arranger.
Starting out as a DJ/host for KPFK Pacifica Radio, it's kinda amazing he still finds time to do a weekly show at KPFK called Spaceways Radio. A little experimental, but always just about the music, this episode Niño digs up everything between obscure field recordings, Sun Ra, his LA peers and some of his new project with Miguel Atwood Ferguson, Fill The Heart Shaped Cup and much more.
Broadcasted every friday from 8 till 10 pm, you can listen online through KPFK.org.
