JIMMY B - COSMIC COMEBACK MIX (LOS ANGELES)

While everything may now seem digitized, life breaks down to the analog connections... Much like brothers from opposite sides of the planet connecting musically in ways we never could've preconceived. As such, our second release is very special to us. SSS002 features Producer Dead-Tones at his finest; that is Kemel Omais, serving as the pilot of this soulful journey through sound. What starts light and fluttery - a beginning that exemplifies the cross-pollination of styles he has choicely honed from Abidjan to Paris to Beirut to LA - becomes a voyage that is but a dream, seemingly traveling through memory. Building layers upon layers, like musical destinations criss-crossing a map, this offering owes itself to a life-long collection of culture and experience. Of Possibility, perhaps. The Here and Now. And with a sleight of hand, our breath is a capsule in time capturing this contrast - the inspired spiritual dance beneath the stars. There is a beauty oft missed by our constant drive that Dead-Tones seems to recapture in these moments of transmuted, transformed, inebriated, recalcitrance. This siren song starts as an epic tale unraveling like the tattered pages of the Iliad and ends as ceremonial bones divining us as inquisitors responsible for our own mysterious futures. The possibilities are endless and beautiful when music is allowed to rip apart the fabric of existence - one to which we think we're stitched, when in fact we are the stars that illuminate the board, each of us more intimately connected than we can ever know. We are but muted tones, raising the dead with our silent songs, beautifully charmed versions of our previously risen forms. 

...

Born and raised by a Lebanese/French family on the African continent in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, reggae is the genre that first spoke to Kemel Omais the most - for its simplicity and efficiency, but most importantly the message. Years later after feeling the harmonious connections in spite of worldly differences at a Sasha show in Beirut, Kemel decided to learn beat-matching and DJ'ing. A couple months later Dead-Tones was born along with a monthly podcast series "EARGASM". After winning a DJ competition to spin at "Marvellous Island Paris," Kemel moved to Los Angeles to start studying music production, sound design, mixing, and mastering. He has acquired some unique sound design abilities from two of the best music schools in LA - Dubspot & Point Blank - and even landed a residency at Guy Gerber's Rumors Ibiza. Kemel's music takes you on a soul moving journey through deep, dark, melodic, and tribal sounds. His production includes a variety of heavy synth progressions and dark driven bass lines with a heavy touch of melancholy. 

...

Being a studio-head and analog collector, Dead-Tones has been able to release tracks and EPs on top labels such as Kindisch and All Day I Dream. His latest EP "Delusions of Grandeur" is out now on Bar 25 Music, featuring seven outstanding exclusive songs, perfect for a journey through the different shades of melodic techno & house music. The EP also features remixes by Rafael Cerato, Den Ishu, and Marco Tegui providing their own diverse atmospheric take on Dead-Tones' originals.
