Every once in a while a feeling comes along that can compliment the art of music without isolating anything or anyone… “Melodica” by Omid 16B is the first single from a planned collection of releases Omid will be putting out this year, whose intentions are pure and simple – raising consciousness and making people aware of the musicality that can be part of any house record and still make an impact to people across genre divides and the pop world, without any cheese or generic formulas that make up many singles today when they focus on hype and trends. “Melodica” is a piece of music with a heartbeat looping and letting emotions flow through hypnotic melodies with a twist of romance. Coming in three exotic and enticing mixes, this is something very special indeed! Omid is an artist who isn’t just a DJ/producer, but also a songwriter and musician who has played a range of musical instruments from an early age and has spent most of his life involved in music. When you’ve been immersed in music as a life-force for so long, the whole ethos of making music tends to get deeper. Head of the Alola, Disclosure and SexOnWax labels, he is seen as a key tastemaker across the electronic music scene. As a respected artist of high calibre, Omid has released several albums to critical acclaim and released an epic number of amazing singles and remixes over the years. He has created a distinctive style and unique expression that constantly inspires, and is nothing short of a true showman.

Its been almost a year since Omid 16Bs previous stunning release on Bedrock. Rain and Passion Of Zorro (BEDDIGI08) were both pure examples of Omids musical genius: uplifting, anthemic and downright danceable to the extreme. As always with Omid, they grooved to the max, which is why his return to Bedrock is such an exciting prospect. The Night and Electronics are both very driving tech-house cuts with a plethora of exciting peak and drops. The Night has a more techno feel to it, created by sonically crafted layers that build it into massive bursts of energy throughout. Electronics was actually made over 3 years ago and has been rigorously tested and played out by myself many times before I signed it to Bedrock. Watch out for the bass loop drop, because that definitely gets a roar from the crowd every time! – Omid 16B Omid is an artist who isnt just a DJ/producer, but also a songwriter and musician who has played a range of musical instruments from an early age and has spent most of his life involved in music.

Say what you will about Lana Del Rey and the controversy surrounding her, but the immense amount of genuine talent here is hard to ignore. The official remixes of “Video Games” are doing the rounds on the interwebs and I have to say, it’s quite interesting to hear her sultry, enigmatic voice in a more dance-oriented context. British-Iranian DJ Omid 16B gives the swooning, harp-laden original a dubstep treatment with squelchy bass, check it out. Out now on Universal. Listen:...
