Crunching hats, off beat snares, rumbling filtered bass-lines and a good serving of soul form the signature sound of O&A, the collaborative pairing of Louis Osbourne & Jamie Anderson, who formed their musical partnership in 2010 from a mutual love of jackin house music.  They now join Magnetic Recordings with the 'Blowin The Jive' EP, bringing their brand of Chicago-influenced House music to Sneak's imprint. 

O&A set off on their path of 4/4 discovery with the release of their 'Rare Grooves EP' in 2010 on Front Room. Striking an immediate rapport in the studio their next track 'Noho' was quickly snapped up by one of the labels of the moment, Play It Down. Making its initial debut on Jesse Rose's 'Made For The Night' compilation on Defected in 2011, it got its full release on Play It Down early in 2012 with remixes from Axel Boman and Rafael Kakudo. This release gained support from the likes of DJ Sneak, Loco Dice, David Squillace, Catz n Dogz, Tiefschwarz and many others firmly cementing O&A as force within the underground house movement.

Later in 2012 O&A dropped two releases on Made to Play. The summer months saw them deliver their stunning 'Need a Drink / Space Funk EP' which gained further support the who's who of house. This was quickly followed with a one tracker titled ‘Come into my World’ which again proved that O&A had nailed their production sound and were striking the right notes.

2013 has seen the guys working harder than ever on the O&A project with this 3 track 'Blowing the Jive' EP on Magnetic; another release scheduled for Play It Down; a track titled 'Aligator Jazz' featured on their agency Jackmode's 5 Year compilation; and the imminent launch of their own label 'All Night Records' formed as an exclusive outlet for their own productions.

The guys have been touring and gigging together during this time and have developed a sound that incorporates Chicago, Techy and Deep House. O&A deliver the kind of slamming DJ sets that you'd expect from two Jackers at the top of their game. On 4 decks, with a crate of exclusive O&A edits and their own productions, quite simply... O&A work it!
