Oma Nata is a mysterious Portuguese kid living in Hamburg. After crossing boundaries in several genres in other musical projects he started Oma Nata to explore a more moody, vibrant and exotic sound. The influences in these three tunes on this EP span from Latin American to West African jazz, blended perfectly with exceptional classic House beat-making, in such way that it doesn't simply come across like patchwork, but a homogenous flow of moody, soulful music. "Baiana" has Cape Verde and Brazil mixed in an unexpected ethereal dance-floor burner that finds its beauty in apparent simplicity. "El Seguidor" is a perfect example of the best way to carefully mix Jazz, South American fusion and House music without sacrificing any of each influence's integrity. We can surely recommend this track even for the stiffest hips. "Sozinho" takes Hamburg to Rio's Carnaval with its irresistible deep Samba influenced beats. Instant summer anywhere!

Felipe Gordon’s Mosaico Andino is a sound testimony that both challenges and reinvigorates the burgeoning Colombian House Music movement. His statement is built on resonances inspired by other decades, the cold streets of Bogotá and a messy youth. It's not surprising when we hear pianos and classic acid house lines paired with jazz samples and funky basslines. His ability to mix these complex sounds seamlessly into his own club music has made him a renowned and prolific producer.

Oma Nata is a mysterious Portuguese kid living in Hamburg. After crossing boundaries in several genres in other musical projects he started Oma Nata to explore a moodier, vibrant and exotic sound.” The influences on this EP span Jazz to Brasilian samba, blended perfectly with exceptional classic House beat-making, in such way that it doesn't simply come across like patchwork, but a homogenous flow of moody, soulful music.

"Alone Together" has a peculiar vibe that grows from a melancholic Jazz piano progression into an uplift groovy house track with a Brazilian touch. "Heaven Is Here" is a good example of the best way to carefully mix Jazz and percussive elements growing it to a laidback appealing House sound. "Let There Be Light" sounds like the best way of including Jazz Swing into dance-music. The crazy double bass line sounds like a roller-coaster for your feet. A dance floor monster.

This is the second Oma Nata release, and we couldn’t be happier better to have them released onForbidden Cuts. Putting out music we love from people we love is the reason why we get up in the morning, and get down at night

Discotexas subsidiary, Forbidden Cuts returns with another of its club-focussed EPs,
this time a jazzy affair from Oma Nata, a mysterious Portuguese artist living in
Hamburg.
The man behind the Oma Nata moniker has released a wide range of music but with
this project focusses on a more moody, vibrant and exotic sound that takes in
everything from Latin American influences to West African jazz as well as classic
house.
First up, the fantastic ‘Twisted Luck’ is a freeform house number with jazz trumpets
and finger clicks, low slung bass and blues vocals all coalescing into a vibrant groove.
A mélange of melodies and saxophones, chords and percussive lines all take turns in
being the lead and it’s the sort of swinging track to get any floor moving.
The equally brilliant and busy ‘A Break Forever’ is all jazzy chords and prickly
percussion. It’s loose yet loopy and will get anyone up on their toes thanks to its
excellent St Germain style deep house vibes.
These are two fresh and original tunes that bring real originality and invention to house
music.

Forbidden Cuts welcome back Columbian producer Felipe Gordon for his second EP!

Based in Bogotá, this esteemed producer and DJ has been making a name for himself with releases on his own label Nómada Records, as well as Toy Tonics, Waze & Odyssey’s Street Tracks, Seb Wildblood’s imprint Church and many more. He has a lo-fi, jazzy house sound filled with feeling and good vibes and here shows off his ability to lay down loose grooves once more. Brilliantly smooth opener ‘Run Run Run’ is a track full of warmth and feel good funkiness with trilling and modulating Rhodes harmonies, squelchy synths and bumping drums all getting you going.

The more drunken, hip hop influenced ‘Jambalaya’ is a perfectly stripped back but jazzy track with lush Rhodes, samples and a wonky acid bassline that will make you jump to the dance floor.

Last but not least, the magical ’I’m Mr Señor Love Daddy’ is the perfect track to wake you up. Yet more loose and playful Rhodes and summery harmonies rain down this one as a heavy driving bass line and hip swinging claps all get you moving.

This is a timeless EP of perfectly loved-up and cosy house music.
