ODYR005Photek-Phaze1Preview

The Iliads series has enabled us to return to the original sound of the label, and to explore the styles of our original artists. This third volume digs into the darker dystopian Hokusai sound, most notably with the 2 A-side tracks Beyond Measure & Papillon. The B-side track 'Listen With Intelligence' is an ode to the golden age of 1994-7 Atmospheric Jungle. The whole E.P. is vintage Odysee with rolling intricate breaks, deep sub-lines and a whole array of those trademark deep electronic & film-noire samples! 300 Clear 140gm Vinyls on their way as we speak:) Out end of September 2024

ODYIL003-IliadsVol.III

The original don and founder of the Odysee Label way back in 1994- Tilla Mirage steps forward for his first vinyl release on the label since the 90's! This E.P. is as heavyweight as one would expect from a member of the original St. Albans crew that comprised Jim & Phil from Source Direct and Tilla himself. A dark sinister breakbeat monster in Dark Rhodes, a classy 1970's Jazz Funk & OST inspired roller in Existence and finally a stunning Atmospheric track in Flawless to rival any of the original SD and Odysee B-Sides. Essential listening for any true Jungle fan!

ODY014-T-MirageE.P.

The 5th in our Broken Circuitry series. Illuminati was originally produced in 2009 and has been given a hefty Tech-step twist with a monster Reese that will devastate any bass cone! Phuture Aware was from 2008 and is more Breakbeat focused with slightly the Photek-esque Taiko bass underpinning the beautiful lush Rhodes work!

ODYBRK005- Broken Circuitry Vol. 5

Brand new 3-track E.P. forthcoming on Odysee from Label partner Andy Odysee. The A-side tracks are dark breakbeat monsters, with the B-side offering something Jazz-infused that has a serious message behind it!

The second instalment of the Iliads- A new series of releases taking it back to the original sound of the Odysee Label. Each release features 3 heritage-style Atmospheric Jungle Tracks modelled on the original heroes of the label. For fans of the Mirage releases on Odysee, and the slightly darker Source Direct cuts on Metalheadz & Razors Edge, these are absolutely essential!

The next instalment in the Odysee Black series, which was designed to allow the Odysee artists to showcase a wider range of styles within the Drum & Bass genre. For this 3rd volume, we present a meeting of musical minds- Drum & Bass vs. Deep Techno, combined with inspiration from the late 90's Wipeout 2097 gaming soundtracks. The result is this stunning hi-energy E.P.; two turbo-charged, breaks-driven tracks. Corridor 12 is a fast and furious tornado of breaks, full of impacts, weapon FX and ground-quaking subs. Flow State is a deeper track, built for late-night journeys with drifting pads, deep techno stabs and crisp driving drums.

FlowstateClip

The Black series has already established itself as a place where we can explore slightly different styles of music whilst still remaining true to Odysee’s ethos of bringing depth of sound and attention to detail to the music.
From the very opening roll across the eerie keys of the Chimeatron, Filme-Noire is all in with it’s many sample references to that dark cinematic style. A frantic whirlwind of razor-sharp breaks, ominous Reese basses and menacing strings reminiscent of being chased through a derelict warehouse or along dark back alleys!
Waterblade warrior is an earlier production from 2015 and draws very obvious inspiration from some of the original Odysee artist’s Kung-fu based tracks. A tornado of drum work amidst a backdrop of oriental flutes, bowed pianos and sword sounds. In the breakdown, Kotos and temple bells echo against a backdrop of running water. The vocal challenge suddenly rings out….“What I wander is how long you’d last against my sword!”, and the track attacks once more with all the swift and deadly force of a katana wielding master!

Odysee Black Volume IV

ODYBLK004BWaterBladeClip

The superb new 3-Track releases from our dear friend Graham Gathern a.k.a. Invincible with Leon Jordan (D'Zine) on the collaboration. From the breakbeat-driven fury of Take Cover and the strident Vocal-stepper Tension, to the expansive voyage of beauty that is Visionary, this is an essential release for ALL proper Drum & Bass and Jungle lovers!

The latest in our Broken Circuitry series where we are revisiting a catalogue of work from 2004-2009. Heavily Tech-step focused but with that trademark Odysee depth and attention to Detail.
Behold Life is haunting and strident- balancing the upfront aggression that a Techstep dance floor track requires with beautiful musical moments; Behold Life...Space....Time....!
BioMechanisms has never been available in any guise until now- it was not on any of the original Circuit Breaker E.P.s although it was produced as part of that set of tracks. A late night driving tune- built for midnight cruising on the way back from the Rave!

Andy Odysee remix of a Total Science Classic dance floor track on Skank & Bass

TotalScience-FallenAngels(AndyOdyseeRemix)

Sneak preview of the new Odysee 3-Track E.P. 
Blueprint goes in deep & moody, twisting a heap of crisp breaks over an ominous & relentless Taiko drum. All about that 2nd drop though!!
Broken Image picks up from where the Hokusai catalogue left off, haunting, melancholy and packed with Jazz breaks & off-kilter Rhodes
Low-Tech is something of a wild card,  referencing one of the Odysee first loves- the era of early 90's UK Breakbeat Techno & Bleep & Bass. Solid driving stepper, but with the hallmark Odysee soundscapes:)

Blueprint E.P.

ODY011Blueprint/BrokenImage/Low-TechTeaser

First release for 2021 is a 25th Anniversary remaster of the Mirage classic Feel My Dreams. The original stands as one of the moodiest Apache rollers of the 90's, and now it is accompanied by remixes from the mighty Homemade Weapons as well as Odysee's Label heads Andy Odysee & Tilla Mirage.

ODYR004AFeelMyDreams(Original)WebClip

Originally set up in 1994 by Tilla Kemal (T-Mirage), Odysee was one of the first imprints to explore a deeper sound that fused Atmospheric Jungle with Techno elements and 70’s Jazz Funk & Film-Noire. Alongside other similar labels of the era such as Fabio’s Creative Source, Bukem’s Good Looking and with DJ support from Kemistry & Storm, Peshay, Fabio & even Goldie, Odysee was an important contributor to what was referred to as the ‘Intelligent’ movement of the mid 90’s. With early releases form iconic artists Source Direct, Mirage and the mighty Photek the label quickly earned a reputation for the quality and versatility of its releases. 
The label stopped releasing towards the end of the 90’s, but was relaunched by Tilla and Andy Odysee in 2015. Alongside a series of choice remasters & remixes from the original back catalogue, there is now a steady stream of new material being released including the Iliads series, and E.P.’s from Andy Odysee, T-Mirage and Invincible & D’Zine. Odysee has also attracted some heavyweights for remix duties including Gremlinz & Jesta, Fanu, Homemade Weapons and forthcoming reworks from ASC & Mister Shifter among others. 
With a focus on breaks heavy D&B and Jungle, the trademark sound of the label, its attention to detail on depth of production, the fusion of Jungle & D&B with Techno, avant-guarde & Film Noire soundscapes still likes at the heart of each release.
