On this episode of Study Music Podcasts, we've got new music from a new (well, kinda) artist. Way back in 2014, we first worked with Juan Alderete on the road with Deltron 3030, and later in the studio working on the self titled album by thegoodnews. - which Juan co-produced on numerous tracks, providing bass and sound design. Now, nearly 10 years later, we're pleased to be working on the resurgence of Juan's group Vato Negro, alongside drummer Matt Sherrod. On today's episode we're playing his latest drop "Sidestepper" which is a 15 minute extravaganza of upbeat, experimental, prog/funk/rock, made live with a gang of pedals & effects and released on 1 of 2 EPs added to streaming this month, ahead of an expanded re-issue of the project 'Bumpers'.Follow Folks @j_alderete @studymusicgroup @studymusicpodsStream Vato Negro music at linktr.ee/studymusicgroupAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
