Nico.wav is an artist born and raised in PG County, that I have had the pleasure to learn a lot about lately. He says that he is done waiting for history to be made, and he has decided to create it himself. He has been working on his newest project, “I’ll Explain Later” lately, where he talks of how he is embodied in his quest to create the world in which he wants to live in, all while undoing the negativity around him.
His newest track is called, “Purified” and it has a very relaxing feel that also includes some very memorable lyricism. He shouts PG county right before the hook rings, “I use to chase the high, I used to live a lie, I used to have no drive, I used to get denied…” as the listener is entranced in the ominous feel of the production. This is a great track for winding down after a long day at work. Check out the track below.

Singer/guitarist/drummer Zaii Valdes is joined in the group by Dan Potvin and Justin Gianoutsos. The group’s latest EP, “FEVERBLUE,” drops October 20. In anticipation of the latest release, Valdes spoke with Alchemical Records about the new record and, in honor of his Cuban extraction, Hispanic Heritage Month—which kicks off September 15.
How did you first get involved in music?
Being of Cuban heritage, music and dance were very much a part of [my] cultural and familial experience. Not to mention, there was a spiritual aspect to it—trance states and such that could be achieved from rhythm and beat.
