Rompe Cadenas by Prince of Queens con El Julius

**VINYL NOW SHIPPING**

Having embraced the wide wired world of modular synthesis, Prince of Queens aka Felipe Quiroz has already proved fit and formidable in dialing in the necessary sonic component of his current stargazing outfit Combo Chimbita in their own studio and live performances. His first two solo records on NYCT have only added to an already wide-ranging electronic fluency, yet have also brought a flare and understanding of dance music foundation that in combination is rarely matched.

For his next release, Prince of Queens teams up with the voice of El Julius, his Colombian countryman and New York neighbor. As a seasoned member of Bulla En El Barrio, El Julius helps to bridge the classic with the contemporary, a traditional arrangement with poignant lyrics, all funneled through the unpredictability of POQ’s analog machinery and synthesis. It’s a modern day reinterpretation of sound system cumbia at its heart, and just a further example of the breadth of POQ’s production possibilities.
