Label: 			WW Records
Catalogue No: 	WW0029
Release Date: 	25/7/2016 



With Support from a range of taste makers from Matt Black to Addison Groove and radio support form Kool FM, Sub FM and Radar Radio. The latest release from O.M.D (Old Man Diode / Valve), Smoke - Black/Amber, a straight up dance record harking back to the 90’s 12inch format - long play tunes with growing builds, heavy drops and cut up beats. This release pairs 2 tracks, sharing musical themes and form, referencing 90s era DnB productions, some of the sound and vibe of early Metalheadz and V recordings tunes with a more contemporary club weight.  Black smoke is your classic heavy A side, long intro and heavy tearing drop. Amber smoke samples Guqin master Yuan Jung-Ping to bring in a more uplifting and expansive vibe, still a tune with weight but adding to the tradition of a more introspective B side.

The O.M.D moniker is Jo Wills (Old Man Diode/Valve/Jetsam/Sion) going back to his roots in club music, electronica and Jungle. Time honoured club structures and 21st century bass.

Diode & Rick Holland - THE KING KRILL

Morning Gate is the final collaboration in the series for Old Man Diode and Rick Holland. 

In this closing instalment the duo return to where it all started, featuring the vocal power and glory of Beth Rowley, singing words born in simple conversation with Holland, over the driving skittering production of Old Man Diode. Morning Gate is a powerful elative song, ready to be an anthem for the lighter months, another step into the unknown mist and the beauty ahead of us.

For anyone lucky enough to see the live performances of this project, the raw power of Guy Wampa's drumming will have been a memorable element of the whole. As the live show has influenced the production process of the project over the years, this release comes with two versions, The studio version based around cut up amens and sine sub and the live version with Guy Wampa accompanying Rowley and Diode on stage.

The Debut Album from Diode and Rick Holland:
The King Krill - Old Man Diode + Rick Holland, featuring I am Fya, Beth Rowley, Chris James, Onallee, Andrew Plummer
This marks the death of the recorded album. The machines have taken us so far. Live sound peeps through the pock marks as we create over broken rythym. Voices have become aware of their own transience. Polished is no longer the point. We thrive in our independent cells and yearn still for an ecstasy of community that destroys our lonely game of acquisition. Machine glitters and choirs emerge, written bold on the ether.
