Nicola Cruz played this session at The Lot Radio in New York on 14 April 2026, and the station filed it under the tag Experimental. The Lot Radio is an independent online station that broadcasts around the clock from a converted shipping container on a vacant lot in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. According to the station’s tracklist, the session opens half a minute in with Sin Sentimientos by Grupo Niche. The published list then moves through records by Antillan Brothers, NG La Banda, Orquesta Original de Manzanillo and Los Titanes. Later picks include Pensando en Ti by Super Grupo Colombia and El Travoltoso by Los Bravos Del Ande, and the list ends with Tight Up Skirt by Red Rat about 43 minutes in. Cruz was born in Limoges in 1987 to Ecuadorian parents and moved with his family to Quito after his first three years in France. At 19 he moved to Mexico City, where he lived for five years and studied sound engineering and music production. His debut album Prender El Alma came out in 2015, and Siku followed in 2019, bringing African and Asian rhythms into his signature Andean step sound. ZZK Records notes that his live shows run on a modular setup that reshapes his source material through improvisation.
