‘SeVen’ has a rather interesting story behind it, with Omid constantly in the studio finding a more direct approach in letting the creative juices flow, forging modular templates adding on the fly ideas and endless possibilities with rhythm and melody combinations all created with his own matrix system! Alex George being long time studio advisor and partner in crime gets involved mid way, just when Omid was close to going completely insane with his creation Alex stepped in and knew exactly where one must draw the line… ‘This could have turned into one of those tracks that sounds great but never felt completely finished’ says Omid 16B “Asking Alex to step in and give his technical opinion was almost like asking the Doctor for a lolly pop after a nasty injection whilst the doctor lights up a fat cigar” Omid adds “Alex is not only one of my best mates and true souls, he is honest, ruthless and right on the money, I can rely on him to tell me what’s really going on specially after those weeks of self indulgence lost in my own bubble”. If two people get together for what ever reason they both need to add something to combine their artform to bring out the best in what they do, in this case it’s an example of friendship and honestly and compassion for one another, things payoff only when ones not concerned about ‘who did what’ and more in tune with ‘this is how we do it’!...

This is their first release together showcasing their style & passion for the music they love. A lovely intro that build ups with intensity, incorporating a variety of musical elements throughout that’s sure to keep the listener captivated. ‘Soulfuric’ by Mr. C is a magician of a track, almost tricking you until the bass line drops and and gives you that real Tech House sound. A distinctly heavy bass line, a recurring feature found throughout the track with style. Adding a gentle mixture of melodic phrases, this mix climbs gradually, sparking the imagination of its audience. Nick Stoynoff & Danny Oliveira have teamed up for this release in the shape of flip flop’s. You could say this is intelligent techno, not over produced or trying to be trendy, but ‘Flip Flop’ is beyond trying to impress as it embraces an atmospheric feeling from the go, encouraging, positive & yet very emotional. Alex Georges’ ‘Only This’ is a gem, made only with a complete modular setup, Alex really shows his multiply talents with a gentle introduction of a melodic nature, adding an airy feel, giving you the feeling of being out of this world. Diego Ro-K finishes off the album with ‘9.21’. Diego waited patiently for this release proving the test of time, a solid percussive house track that works well in the mix with almost anything and certainly sounds great on its own if you like your hips moving.
