Nevaris arrives with something the music world genuinely needs right now. The Manhattan-based percussionist, keyboardist, and composer Agustín Nevaris releases “Remedy – Live,” the second offering from his ‘SoundSession’ EP, and the title says everything about the intention behind it. “The song speaks to the power of music to bring healing to our bodies and minds, especially during troubled times like the present,” Nevaris says. “We all need remedies in this world.”
Built on ultimate groove and rhythm, jazzy saxophone, a slick bassline, addictive lap-guitar, cinematic soundscapism, and turntablism, “Remedy” moves with the kind of warm, unhurried authority that only comes from musicians who know exactly what they’re doing. The ‘SoundSession’ EP marks the fourth collaboration between Nevaris, legendary bassist-producer Bill Laswell, and this particular nine-piece ensemble, which includes DJ Logic, Jonathan Maron, Will Bernard, Peter Apfelbaum, Angel Rodriguez, Jojo Kuo, Lockatron, and Matt Dickey. Recorded live in a single session at Laswell’s Orange Sound studio in West Orange, New Jersey with no edits or overdubs, every note captured exactly as it happened in real time.
The EP follows Nevaris’s 2023 debut album ‘Reverberations,’ released via M.O.D. Reloaded, which earned praise from Carlos Santana as “a work of supreme creativity.” Big Takeover Magazine called the sound “grooves and moves, ambience and addiction, brass and bass, analogue and digital, the old and the new, the timeless and the forward-thinking all subsumed into a dub sound.” That description holds completely for “Remedy,” which sits at the intersection of Afro-Latin, dub, funk, and jazz with the kind of effortless fluidity that makes the whole thing feel inevitable.
‘SoundSession’ is out now digitally. A second studio album featuring special guests is already in the works for later in 2026 via M.O.D. Reloaded.
