"Dog Fight" marks Dublin producer Ozwald's third extended release with Flood. A fusion of percussive precision an hybridised club rhythms, this is trademark Ozwald - club music for the disjointed era.

Ozwald - Dog Fight

"The Palace" sees Ovid return to Flood for his third release with the label. The NY based artist comes packing a fully realised EP that fine tunes the mechanical layers of rhythm and gritty textural melodics synonymous with his production.

Ovid - The Palace

lan Nyquist explores sonic innovation and pays homage to a traditional instrument on his album, 'Gilded' scheduled for release on September 5th. Nyquist plants his feet on the shifting terrain of Ireland's pastoral traditions, offering a unique sonic voice that doesn't lose sight of its cultural inheritance.

The beating heart around which 'Gilded' is woven is the bodhrán, a native Irish frame drum with which Nyquist uses innovative techniques to push the instrument beyond its ordinary confines.
Mirroring the instrument's sound through modelling software, the album's title itself nods to a theme of transformation, suggesting something familiar burnished to a new brilliance, giving it new life. The result being a truly unique unfurling of the harmonic, hypnotic and rhythmic potential of the bodhrán.

This spirit of transformation is most vividly realised through Nyquist's collaborations with some of Ireland's most evocative voices. On a version of 'Leis a'bháta Dhubh Dharaich (The Black Oaken Boat)', Edinburgh-born, Dublin-based singer-songwriter lona Zajac lends her haunting vocals to an old Gaelic rowing song, her voice holds the track in a timeless tradition even as Nyquist's arrangement swirls around her; an anchor in a storm- tossed sea.

Similarly, on 'Úna Bhán (Fair Una)', Cork's sean-nós singer Lorcán Mac Mathúna brings a sacred and ethereal quality to the 18th-century love song, his voice floating assuredly over Nyquist's sparse, shimmering arrangement.

An original composition by Laucan, 'What Else Am I For?', marries introspective, dream-washed vocals with an impressively fine-tuned production style. Once again, Nyquist demonstrates his ability to connect diverse genres and musical traditions.
Ireland's music scene continues to branch out and evolve, spurred on by the artists-like Nyquist; with 'Gilded', he melds the sound worlds of old and new, of technique and heart, of heritage and reinvention. His work resists neat distinctions and rigid genre typologies, while retaining a sense of where he calls home.

Traditions are never static; they are reiterated, redigested, and recast.

D.C. native Ovid returns to Cork imprint Flood for a third time with his latest EP, ‘The Palace’. 

A follow on from 2022’s ‘Stone Coaster’, the New York based artist returns to form with his uncompromising hybrid of funky and hard drum across 4 original tracks, plus a further remix from Shai FM on ‘Crawl Out’.

The release also sees Flood founders Doubt and Tension collaborate with Ovid for a second time on ‘The Palace Pt. 2’, reigniting a three-way collision of sharp, forward facing club drum. 

Our featured premiere, ‘North From Here’, blurs the lines between mechanical and traditional sounds, fizzing with industrial melodies and effects alongside anthemic percussive builds and foundations.

The EP drops in full on July 31st here: https://ovidmusick.bandcamp.com/album/the-palace
