Ole Mic Odd

OMO DJ mixes / live sets

This session was originally recorded for a fundraiser during last year, but wanted to redo it to tighten up the blends. I picked a lot of tracks that remind me of the deeper side of Detroit. This feeling went with what I was feeling during the time of being home and secluded from a lot of friends.

Not only is this the first post for Research & Development of 2024, it is our very first live set to be published as part of the mix series!  

Los Angeles-born Ole Mic Odd (aka Michael Padgett) grew up surrounded by jazz and rap music before moving to the east coast and becoming obsessed with vinyl. After DJing at parties and bars for years – spinning everything from dub/reggae and funk to krautrock and minimal wave – he finally discovered techno and picked up a few drum machines. 

Influenced by cult Dutch electronic labels, Detroit electro, Miami bass, early Chicago and P-Funk/G-Funk, Michael's music and performances are driven by hardware electronics, live recordings and improvisation. His high-energy live sets weave together techno, acid, electro, house, synth-wave and jakbeat styles, while his recordings range from acid electro and jackin techno to stomping house and ambient synth improvisations.

Michael has released on Kraftjerkz, Source Material, Zement, Dead Channel, Natural Sciences, New York Haunted, Another Perspective, Hilltown Disco, Clan Destine and Up North Records, among others. He has releases forthcoming on KRI Records, Zonate and Jungle Gym Records.

DT Podcast #209 is here. For the newest edition, we are delighted to welcome Los Angeles-based producer, hardware sound aficionado, and designer Michael Padgett, a.k.a. Ole Mic Odd. Having grown up on a jazz music diet, he later shifted his focus to tinkering with synths and drum machines. Today, he's renowned for his immersive live performances, delivering a gritty and evolving electro sound. His releases on Kraftjerkz, Zement, Source Material, and Hilltown Disco speak for themselves.

In this podcast, Ole Mic Odd has recorded a live set that vividly portrays the scenario of aliens landing on Earth via robotic sonic perspective. Tune in, drop out.

With his serious musical chops showcased on Haven and other esteemed imprints, get ready for two hours of pure madness straight outta Lost Angeles.

Rinse France Podcast

PUBLIC SYSTEM RECORDINGS MYN invite OLE MIC ODD & DJ ANGELDU$T - 11 Mai 2024

Ole Mic Odd is a DJ and producer from Los Angeles. His music is driven by live recordings and hardware, combining elements of acid, techno, electro, ebm, minimal wave and house music. He ran The New U.S. Government label, and has releases on KRI, Kraftjerkz, Source Material, Zement, Hilltown Disco, Another Perspective, Natural Sciences, New York Haunted, Nerang Recordings + 2 new releases up at Jungle Gym Records.

Which artists has influenced you the most?

- This year it’s been Dynamik Bass System, Mandroid, Robotron, 214, Teslasonic, CEM3340, dynArec, Exzakt, DJ Godfather - but always Keith Tucker, Aux 88, DIE, DJ Di’jital... also older 80s electro and funk… I’m more influenced by electro that has funk and groove vs. the harder breaksy stuff

What new projects/releases with your participation are expected in the near future?

- I'm really excited about 2 releases coming out soon on Jungle Gym Records: a tape of pretty mangled, cavernous techno called "Cave Dweller" and a CD of new agey improvised synth compositions. Ive got a couple electro releases on the way too, and a new collaborative techno project ive just started with Kosmik here in LA

What inspires you now to create music?

- I guess I just have a drive to make songs, over and over again — I'm not really inspired by abstract feelings or ideas or things in my daily life, apart from other music. I just love creating my own world of sound and funk and grooves, and working in different styles, and then making up my own stories about alien robots trying to learn how to be human or something. I like to create music that's conceptual in a way that is meaningful to me, but doesnt tell the listener what it's about or what to think exactly.

What set-up do you use when creating music?

- I usually use my Rytm along with other synths like TB-3, Manther, Alpha Juno, JV-1080, DX100, K1, and the Microkorg for vocoder, plus different FX. Also ive used the DR-770 for a lot of my recordings as my $100 808.

Tracklist:
1. Aux 88 – Alien Life Form 
2. Cybonix – Split Personality 
3. DJ Godfather – C05M1C FUNK 
4. Solar Chrome – Voltage Response 
5. Client_03 – Morality Corruption Splice Pointer 
6. dynArec – Gyrodyne 600 
7. Interfunk vs. Robotron – Compuphonic Robotronic 
8. Posatronix - Danz 
9. dynArec – Fluid Leak 
10. Mandroid – Subsonic Tendencies 
11. Detroit's Filthiest – Gangster of Love

029 / Ole Mic Odd

“The first time I met Michael Padgett he threw a tomahawk at my head, so needless to say I was a little antsy when Dan brought him over to my apartment unannounced. However, a half hour of GTAV later, I remembered first impressions are not always correct, and have ever since been happy to call Michael 'a cool guy' and good pal.  Under his Ole Mic Odd and DJ $taples aliases, as well as his collaborative project “Xool”, he explores the intersection of noise, techno, club, and rave sounds that we fucking love over at Sweat Equity (seriously, check out his Lil Wayne acid edits). Boston heads can check him at his monthly residency “Jack Life” at Zuzu’s, everyone else can check out this sick ass mix.” - JX

SWEAT MIX 007: OLE MIC ODD

Ole Mic Odd blends dirty beats with salty reverberating noise. This machine musician with releases on Always Human Tapes and New York Haunted wafts a dusty swell from your speakers with downtempo melodic jams as well as streaking belters. This is conducive to illegal street races in stolen cars or laying back in a smoky room with sunglasses all night without sleeping.
