Doing CMJ my way, bringing together an unlikely pairing of artists to play with me at experimental video game arcade, Babycastles on W 14th St. in Manhattan.

Xenia was featured as guest vocalist on WNYC soundcheck where she performed 3 songs with Helado Negro from his new album Double Youth (Asthmatic Kitty Records).

Currently based in Brooklyn, New York, Helado Negro grew up in South Florida to Ecuadorian parents, and his graciously tumbling electronic music pulls from that heritage by smoothly singing, seamlessly flowing in between English and Spanish.

For photos and audio of the session, visit WNYC Soundcheck.
