: over by evil-intelligent robots or imploding from our own :

:' album opener ôLa Nocheö featuring Antonio Lizana is classic ':
,: Nickodemus fare, with a deep Hip Hop groove & a modern twist on :,
: traditional Flamenco vocals describing the creative burst we get :
:' as artists out in nightlife. ôMama Tchippö featuring French/ ':

,: From Latin America to North & West Africa, from the dance-floors :,
: of Europe to the gritty homebase of New York City, "Soul & :
:' Science" is a celebration of the human spirit in all its ':
,: multi-faceted glory as Nickodemus invites listeners to put down :,
: their phones, free their hands, be open to surprises and let :
:' loose on the dance-floor. The album is a reminder that, as ':
,: emerging technologies continue to reshape our world, we must not :,
: forget the soulful, magical essence that makes us human. :
