12" + DL available now via RWDFWD.COM, ossia.bandcamp.com and all good record shops - 

"Red X, Information & Drum Tangle.
Originally relesead via Blackest Ever Black, Berceuse Heroique and Noods Radio, respectively (go seek them out if you haven't yet!) - this self-released 12" features three previously unheard cuts & versions of recent time - dubbed, live & direct - straight from Ossia's mixing desk.

Red X, which was the title track to Ossia's debut solo record on Blackest in 2015, is served up on the A side of this record (now cut at 45rpm, so you can test it at slow motion dread speed too). This new cut is titled 'Red X (Vertigo Version)' and keen ears and eyes might recognise the additional inclusion of the String & electone organ part which appeared on the final track 'Vertigo' at the end of Ossia's recent album 'Devil's Dance'. The strings - played by the great Rakhi Singh - come searing in over the spring reverberated breakdown section, and burn over the final crescendo of the track - something Ossia had been testing out in live shows from time to time, but only recently commited to a proper recording - now also including extra splashes of echo & reverb over Peter Tosh's Red X vocal excerpts, for extra menace.

On the B Side, we get two dubwise versions, raw dub style -
First up, 'Information' which came out on a 2 x 12" va Berceuse Heroique in 2016, gets the rework / dub mix treatment.
Some of you might remember that the original 'Information' already had a version to it on the B side of it's original release, which explored an even more minimalist angle.
Upping the energy levels for this counterpart, some years later, the 'Raw 2020 Version' on this new record features a reworked bassline which revolves into more stepping kind of techno territory - with the remnants of pads, and percussion getting squeezed through broken mixing desk faders, their echo'd signals left to feedback into the void as the bass tumbles down on you. Play it loud, or don't.

The final cut on this disc is also the most 'recent' -
The original cut of Drum Tangle came out in 2021 on a various artists 12" via our friends at Noods Radio. We have the last copies of this 12" available here by the way - And if you don't already own it, then we'd recommend grabbing a copy of that one, so you can play this new version right after the original cut.
Because, as in best Jamaican style dub tradition, the idea is that the dub should follow the original cut - allowing you to explore the foundations of the rhythm in a newly focused way. Plus, this part two, the 'Raw Dub' of Drum Tangle lets loose on those snares which were only teased in during the final part of the original Drum Tangle cut - listen closely and they might just whisper at you, whilst the bassline shudders below.

Edition of 250 -
Screenprint over hand-applied tape-strips, plus five different hand-stamps on each record. Each one is slightly different."

The number six remains ever present, ever dark, ever monotonous. It was here now. With them. 
Ossia has remixed the work of Silver Waves on Howling Owl/ Portals Editions. He describes the process as follows. 
"All sounds, apart from the main hand-drum pattern, have been coaxed out of Silver Waves original recording, and skewed via an old Trident mixing desk, re-sampled & played / pitched / reversed / filtered / distorted and shot back through the Space-Echo, an old Copicat Delay + a few other bits and pieces. The track was made in two full days of aggressive meditation, with little sleep in between."

Ossia - Control

READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-ossia-tumult

After a first incursion on the label with the excellent ‘Control/Information/Version‘ last year, Bristol multi-hatted don Daniel Davies aka Ossia returns to @kemal187 this summer to deliver a hell of a mind-bending 2-tracker that oozes nothing but pure race-bred UK bass and dubstep pedigree.

Ossia - Tumult [Berceuse Heroique]

"After our show for Metamorph in NYC, We went digging for some records in Brooklyn's Co-op 87 record shop, came back with a lot of Dancehall and played those records, along with a few favourites on @thelotradio"

Noods Radio 05 - b2b w/ Bokeh Versions

Episode 06 of the Noods sessions -
This time Simon Grab & Yao Bobby (swiss noisemaker and togolese rapper and activist) delivered a 1hr 35min mix of original productions and influences, all mixed and mashed in a heavily dubbed out way, a potent collage of moods & energies -

A crude mix of experimental noise and contemporary electronic clubsounds from the leftfield niches, from Kampala to Dakar, Philadelphia to Kinshasa, from Ouagadougou to Tokyo and back to Zurich via Luanda, as well as Simon’s own sonic experiments from his upcoming solo album via -OUS records.

Yao Bobby & Simon Grab are about to release their debut EP on LAVALAVA Records, of which you can also hear some of the tracks in this show - and of which you can spy part the artwork here, made by Patch D Keyes.
I recorded an intro section to go with this, and it's loaded with current favourites from across the spectrum - includes fresh & as of yet unreleased Broshuda, Kinlaw & Franco Franco material, as well as a shred of a noise piece I made for Haunter Records, due out on their 'forever' compilation in October '19.

hit up rwdfwd.com (for the wax) and lavalavarecords.bandcamp.com (for the digital) for the Yao Bobby & Simon Grab EP on LAVALAVA, out on 18/09/19.

-- thanks for listening. enjoy

Noods Radio 08 w/ East Man

2hrs solo, jukebox style selections straight from the record shelf.
All kinds of sounds from all over the world. Records I've collected over the years - the ones I keep coming back to.

This one was recorded in one-take, with no plan other than 'strictly favourites' and rooting towards less electronic sounds perhaps. 

The recording is a bit hot in places, I guess I got excited and didn't realise the volume was a little high. Ah well, just imagine it's blasting out of an old FM Radio. Sound good to me in a nice & ruff way, anyway.
Hope you enjoy the vibes.
Thanks for listening.
