Frank Murillo was born in New York City and still lives and works there as a musician, producer and teacher.
The multi-instrumentalist mensions Queen, David Bowie and Santana as his biggest musical influences.
“ Letting It Rest” was originaly released in 1986 on the New York based Chapter 13 label. Frank Murillo played all the instruments and sings on this killer leftfield disco boogie cut with a heavy italo feel.
So, it’s with great pleasure that Ostra Discos presents the reissue of this awesome track!

Melbourne-Berlin transplant, master producer Tornado Wallace kicks off the EP with his take on 'The Magnificent Moon'. Wallace delivers a stripped back, break infused cruiser, mutating Kevin McDowell's vocals into an unknown alien tongue whilst staying true to the originals infectious melodies.

Leeds-based artist Joe Morris @joemorris presents his first full-length album, the anticipated "Exotic Language". It lands after a decade of music production from Joe Morris, who smoothly sharpened his skills indelibly, gaining a reputation with an ear for music with depth, emotion and feeling. 

The album is designed as a 360 degree view over Joe’s kaleidoscopic musical palette, a nine-tracker taking in dreamy deep house, new age, ambient and afro-beat.  

We are really excited to share with you the spacey and ethereal side of Joe Morris, by premiering the beautiful "Celestial Plantation", an ode to Italian deep house of the early nineties.

As the world and its wife tries to board the last plane out of 2020, Eclectics rolls up with a charter flight big enough to ferry all-comers to Shangri-La. The Oh! EP, from Ibiza-based Italian producer Luca Averna and legendary British veteran Chris Coco, is 35 minutes of delightful, deep-dive distraction from a world gone mad.

This isn’t simply a collection of tunes sitting cheek-by-jowl with their remixes, this is a soaring suite – a movement in five parts put together with care, confidence and consummate craft.

First up on the in-flight entertainment is “There Is No Planet B”. Despite the distress-signal sentiment of the title, it’s an audio hug of breathy synths, languorous lead lines and slow, whirling propeller percussion. A mid-paced reminder that we really are all in this together, the melodic flow coalesces midway through, giving directions to the dance.

The Veteran Delinquents (Joe’s Bakery and Passport to Paradise stalwart Craig Christon along with producer Tim Hutton) pick up the baton and increase the momentum like veteran DJs reading the room. Their remix follows on seamlessly from the original, bigging up the boogie with handclaps, piano and a beat that channels electro and new wave New York.

Next up is Jazxing (The Very Polish Cut-Outs/ Transatlantyk), who find another gear and chug straight ahead – full steam in widescreen. Increasing the bandwidth even further they throw in guitar licks and percussive punctuation, forcing the familiar melody into bold new territory.

And suddenly, there you are, in the middle of a four-to-the-floor groove for discerning dancers after a journey so smooth you couldn’t even feel the corners.

As the bass peters out, title track “Oh!” blossoms into view, building slowly, layers lapping over each other, gentle yet steady, fragile but with a firm foothold. The pace has quickened, but the pin-perfect pacing means you don’t realise until you’re halfway in and committed to the ride. Oh! indeed…

Then, the final act. Once again, Eclectics frequent flier James Bright tales the controls and banks away beautifully from the original, leading you into territory littered with broken beats, rippling synths and an afro-infused groove. This is all played out against a gentle backdrop, a watercolour wash of sound that smooths the flightpath, tempers the turbulence and joins the dots between guitar flourishes and snare snaps.   You have reached your destination. Enjoy.
