kino todo's year 🫡
Kino Todo looked back at his year, and it's a good read
Kino Todo posted a look back at his past year, and it's stuck with us all week. a lot moved for him: a step back, a change of direction, a new team of people he genuinely enjoys being around.
the part that got us: he's open that the big change was getting sober, and that nightlife and performing don't have to come with substances. he fell back in love with making music, and with meeting the crowd from a cleaner perspective.
the project's been running since 2019, and he says the music coming in 2026/27 "feels like the most accurate and complete version of my music I've ever created." Down To The Boulevard is out today on Rendezvous Sound, it's up top in our picks.
always good to see someone go through a year like that and share it. read the whole carousel, then meet him on his groovesMAXXING page.
