These weeks have been quite busy for all of us. Summer vacations are over and the school and job routines are back again (along with the heavy traffic). We have been thinking about this and for this month we’ve got a special release.
An obscure EP beyond routine and habits, produced by one of our favorite artists: MHV. Still more music to come. Stay tuned.

Konfort has never been only about music. True to the multi-media spirit of our artists’ collective, Héctor Zarate aka HZ has a new photo exhibit at Pueblo Nuevo’s Virtual Gallery. The exhibition is called “Mind your own Business” and features HZ’s very personal take on the relationship between people and their workplaces.
