The superb new 3-Track releases from our dear friend Graham Gathern a.k.a. Invincible with Leon Jordan (D'Zine) on the collaboration.

A real pleasure to remix this track from Kyrist- she had so many excellent stems to go to work with! Giving it that Odysee twist with the full on breakbeats and deep room-shaking subs:) Plus a few special sprinklings of SD/Photek-esque sounds just for good measure

The second in the Odysee Black series. This is a digital only release available exclusively from our Bandcamp featuring 2 tracks with a slightly different focus to our usual output.  Big Bad Bass & Treble Music- basically does what it says on the tin! Phat breakbeat driven D&B with a nod to the classic Hip-Hop Jump-up sound of the mid-late 90's. This is complimented by the cinematic sounds of Imaginarium. There is a touch of Modus Operandi type breakbeat work here but plenty of deep soundscapes too.

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.

Between 2005 and 2009, Andy Odysee was producing Drum & Bass under the artist name Cloaking Device and building a portfolio of material ready to launch through his new Circuit Breaker label. Fate dealt Andy a different hand; a chance to relaunch the Odysee imprint instead and the rest of course is history.
“I have always been very proud of this set of tracks, the concepts and the arrangements were really good. But sadly the production values and especially the mix downs have not stood the test of time. The breaks were all made from scratch, and although I was excited about being able to boast that there were no sampled drums at the time, I have come to realise that Jungle and Drum & bass are very much about heritage; it’s good to have that reference to those classic breaks even if you use slightly rarer examples. Plus they were too fast- 180 BPM is just too quick and dropping them down to 172 should allow then to really funk out!”
Some 15 years or more later, Andy has decided to revisit this early catalogue and bring the tunes up to date. And so we are proud to present the Broken Circuitry series. At a glance these tracks might seem a little removed from the Odysee sound, but delve a little deeper and all the trademarks are still there; in particular those obscure OST/Film-Noire sounds and deep Techno samples.

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!

The Broken Circuitry series is a reimagining of Andy Odysee's early portfolio of work under the alias Cloaking Device. Originally produced between 2005 and 2009, this body of work is getting a fresh reworking for the 2020's!
Sub Science brings the weight on the remix of Eye Of The Storm where a tornado of breakbeat fury and ground-shaking bass tremors are interlaced with a groove of deep techno stabs and glitchy electronica. There are more musical moments towards the breakdown with some funked-up Rhodes work and a gorgeous pad, but this is balls-out D&B to the core!
The rework of Dreams and Visions is a little more straight up D&B with crisp, clean rolling breaks, but it is unmistakably Odysee with it's attention to detail and trademark 70's Noire sounds.

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.
