ODTD055 marks the exciting Øddity debut of supreme melodic techno star Magdalena. After rising up from the underground Hamburg scene to international recognition - Magdalena adds to an impressive body of work spanning Zamna Records, Renaissance, Diynamic, Bedrock, Still Vor Talent & Warung. The two dance fueled tracks on offer really showcase her talent for fusing melody and energy.

Emphatic opener Midnight Embrace sets a deep focused groove from the first bar. Tasteful melodies intertwine, drawing you into the melodic core. Classy use of percussion leads to a fine breakdown, momentarily making the room stop - before the crowd dances together in unison. Midnight Embrace is a proper DJ track, built from a clear understanding of dynamics and how to work a club. An essential piece of kit for you Rekordbox.

Not to be outdone, Echoes showcases Magdalena’s ability to use subtle elements to maximum effect. Cleverly crafted, Echoes hypnotizes the listener. Displaying great taste, Magdalena’s less means more approach combines shimmering arps, emotive chords, resonating atmospherics and crisp hats to stunning effect. An artist at the top of their game.

Midnight Embrace tells us that Magdalena is forging her own path and flourishing by connecting people through her music. Long may that continue.

Oddity is an imprint curated and delivered by Fur Coat, focusing on melodic house and techno. Having begun to drive his career and sound in a deeper direction, the realization of his own label has given him the best platform to showcase this.

“Starting my own label is something that I´ve had in mind for a long time. It’s a platform to express myself and have 100% the control on the art concept I want to put on each release, the music I want to show from myself and the artists I share passion for, giving me the ability to invite them onto the label.

The label is giving Fur Coat the opportunity to explore artistically and promises to give a platform to new artists that fit with the sonic direction, whilst also inviting heritage talent onboard for remixing.
