Architect & Waves

Etienne Stehelin AKA Rithma returns with the first single from his upcoming new Om Records EP The Great Spacious. On the title track we’re taken on a road-trip out into a wide-open space. It starts out pretty ominous, as some trips do, not knowing quite what is going to happen or how things will turn out. The initial synth line started out as a little jam in the studio, but then it gets into a bit of resolve with a beautiful worn tape loop chord giving us the idea that things might turn out okay after all. Rithma closes it out with a nice jazzy guitar riff, played on the Rick Turner "magic guitar", which he reflects “I only pull out once every few years and it always seems to make something magic.”

Lyrics:

CHORUS –
Maybe it's some kind of love 
Maybe it’s a dumb kind of love
Maybe it’s one kind of love
Maybe it’s something new
Maybe it’s some kind of love
Maybe it’s a dumb kind of love
Maybe it’s one kind of love
Maybe it’s something...

We can make it, if we try – I’ve heard that line before 
Things in common that we share – not feeling anymore

But when we touch and I am lost in space and time, I can fly 
It means so much to have a feeling so sublime, a natural high 
Oh why do we have to let reality
Bring us down when it feels so good to me

CHORUS

Find it hard to justify all the hurt and pain
Good intentions, wonder why, here we are again

But when we touch and I am lost in space and time, I can fly 
It means so much to have a feeling so sublime, a natural high 
Oh why do we have to let reality
Bring us down coz it feels so good...

Feels so good, feels so true, feels so good, oh yeah 
You’ve got me feelin’ feelin’ yeah

But when we touch and I am lost in space and time, I can fly 
It means so much to have a feeling so sublime, a natural high 
Oh why do we have to let reality
Bring us down coz it feels so good yeah

CHORUS

What originally started in a pub between Charlie Tate & Matt ‘DJ Shuff’ Harris in 1994 has come full circle 31 years later! King Kooba return with their third EP of their trilogy of genres, this time focusing on downbeat jazztronics. The midtempo grooves that made standout albums like NuFoundFunk so beloved. Doh Zen is an electric piano, breaks and bass rolling groover, complete with string stabs and global atmospherics reminiscent of the classic Om Lounge series. It’s the perfect soundtrack to begin the 30th year of Om Records on Valentine’s Day. We hope you enjoy the ride!

Om Records is celebrating twenty-five years in the game! What started out as a little label on Haight Street in San Francisco, has grown into a breeding ground for underground talent producing some of the greatest in the electronic, house, downtempo and hip-hop world. One of the legends to call Om home dating back to his early days of Mushroom Jazz is nonother than the maestro himself, Mark Farina. On “The Story,” Mark teams up with collaborator Homero Espinosa to create the groove heavy statement piece “The Story”. Heavy horn stabs and organ slabs ride on the steady breakbeat reminiscent of classic years gone by with a message still focused on the here and now.

“The story didn’t end there, so we didn’t stop there…”
