Omid 16B is Kicking It Off in the 5th dimension. Coupled with the tender firecrackers Alex George and Chris Gavin, Omid begins his warbled journey into the mystical gardens as a transmogrified toad that hops casually through the gates. A fevered smog descends throughout the fields and a burning sensation trickles up the creek toward the shivering nightingales. Fourteen soft-spoken opossums sing an ode, harmonizing together under the vaulted skies. Clocks called my name twice. Smitten in the soul with nowhere else to go. A lavish dessert prepared under slivered moonlight. Diluted in the seemingly endless blackness. Special trickery. If life were a marble, I would be the stripe inside. She sang her song in the pasture until a reindeer appeared. Leave the house for sleep. A candy-coated future. We were young, free, and careless. Too many lounging antiquities. Thrilling levees. Stationed near the sanctuary. 2014 Tulipa Recordings http://www.tuliparecordings.com Artwork by Justin Chodzko Words by Summer (Brendon Collins) Buy on Beatport...

Hot on the heels of their debut release on Sci+Tec, Omid 16B & Alex George continue their winning streak with ‘Sleep Walker’, delivering 2 expertly crafted mixes. First up, the Festival Version evokes the cavernous mainroom experience that we all know and love, but at a building level of intensity, while the Warehouse Version employs the track’s same central incessant rhythm on a parallel tangent.

The second in this ‘Free’ 2 part remix pack kicks off with Omid’s iconic original mix, specially selected from his forthcoming album landing later this year – utilising striking sonic textures set against a well-crafted counter-rhythm with expertly-layered vocals, Omid breaks new ground with his production on this track and is certainly one way to close a set at the end of a very special night . The Mark Holmes’ remix follows next retaining the essence of the original, at the same time incorporating round electro bass notes which chunky layers of drums and clever use of the samples from the original. Future star Arnas D heightens the excitement, delivering a main-room intense epic mix with an other-worldly breakdown to die for, and the techno jedi Alex George adds a welcome divertissement with a down-tempo, more chilled mix sure to move your speakers an inch or two, enjoy this pack filled with variation and style from all angles to touch almost everyone’s heart.

Omid 16B in preparation for a new album later this year, with ‘Free’ taken from the forthcoming album sees some refreshing activities here for the summer 2014 with remixes from the hot tipped Chris Gavin, Trent Cantrelle, Kevin Di Serna & Markel (Part1). Chris Gavin’s skill for epic soundscapes does not disappoint here, with expansive synthwork from the outset, while Trent Cantrelle keeps things lower down on a subtler, techier note like his infamous sets at studio 86 in LA where both Trent and Omid play together regularly. Kevin Di Serna’s deep, enveloping Balearic-inspired take on ‘Free’ is a sublime slice of the party season, aimed squarely at those sunrise moments Kevin is getting known for, whilst new boys on the block Markel round out the release with a well-thought-out groove-infused mix that bumps along nicely touching on the techno landscapes. This is the first pack from two sets of mixes which will be released two weeks apart, with more mixes from Alex george, Mark Holmes, Arnas D and the original mix from Omid 16B himself to follow shortly.
