Jazz of the Machine 
A full-length album by Ohm Hourani that travels long the didactic path of modular synthesizers and drum machines, while in the company of carefully hand-picked musicians and vocalists.
This seven track LP delves into the unpredictability of two musical worlds: Electronic and Jazz. Beginning with the intricate composition of the cheerful “Oasis in Heaven” and moving on to discover the mysteries hidden in “The Bicycle Tour”, the first record twists and turns into the challenging narrative of “Bahé”, before saying its final few words of goodbye to “Abusamir.”
On the second record, “Coucou” sits to script the love of life or the love of a lifetime. “Happy Mutek” fortifies energy new and old and escorts us to moments of alleviation. The eponymous “Jazz of the Machine” is the flag-bearer and ultimate demonstration of the bond between air and its reliance on the electricity of soul and souls.
Encasing this double record is a sleeve that features a luscious illustration by Laucolo entitled “Batikha.”

A1 Oasis in Heaven [snippet]

Plus1 started as a spontaneous  drive of doing the best, when possible, in absolutely everything you manifest. Being born in a smallish town like Buftea, stuff needed to happen in order to entertain myself after school or after that lovely 3 month long vacation you have every year as a child. And by stuff, think about some basic electronics, mechanics and even other crafts. Music was something that came into my life very early but while I was in school, casually, throughout the primary classes i've listened to local, underground romanian hip-hop and then that slowly turned into house music. The DJ-ing part is mostly ambition; in short, “Someone didn’t let me at the decks” is a quote of myself from back in  2009. In 2007, I’ve uncovered radio ProB, a underground Romanian music radio hosted by a guy called Dj Zet. He've shown me, for the very first time,the pleasure of djing house music, the kind of music that all sorts of people grooved on (and they still should) – a kind of dancing,latin and very rhythmic funky house. Soon after this I’ve begun developing my own preferences in music with a whole buch of somehow groovy, bouncy and rythmic tunes, by from artists such as Riva Starr, Mastiksoul and others. In 2011 things went back to the world of underground, partially thanks to the producers who took the funky house I’ve once knew into the world of dub and tech house not that deep into the underground. Being a resident DJ of Monarch Caffe back in the summer of 2013, I’ve made sure that everyone was partying on a perfectly balanced mix of deep house, techno,with flavours of dub and minimal along funky house of course. Fast forwarding a couple of years, gradually, that wasn’t the thing for me anymore. The producers I’ve loved had stopped delivering for a bit but, inevitably, something else clicked. My attention is now with the broad genre of minimal house music, a genre that is keeping me captivated in electronic music for the love of the whole process, enjoying it wisely.

Life is based upon trends and patterns. However, from time to time an anomaly will surface to tickle the interest of the human mind  and  leave us astonished, like a rogue wave or a golden sunflower in a field of jasmine.
 
Anoma is derived from anomaly. We are a record label eager to present musical material that is off the beaten path, yet organic in content.
 
To limit your options and tie your hands, our music will be released only in vinyl format. 
 
Different forms of art blend to create vibrancy. Encompassing each record is a sleeve featuring a commissioned painting by a brush from one of our member's palette. 
 
Founded by Ohm Hourani and embraced by like minded figures Anoma saw the light in 2014 and will continue to provide minimalistic, jazzy and organic sounds.
