| OOZ004 - Jim Thompson

The fourth release on OOZ presents the artists’ first vinyl outing. A high level of craftsmanship and dedication to hardware is evident across the EP. 

A mushroom-induced acid excursion into reflexive and euphoric house and techno. Acid lines interweave over tight drums grooves and melodic synth stabs spray sound and ignite rhythm across the percussion, as if they were mushroom’s releasing spores.

The fifth on OOZ introduces label co-founder, deWaal for his first solo outing on vinyl.

The record marks a unique point in Joe's artistic development - a timestamp marking the transitional period toward the deeper and electro-rooted sound he is making now and away from the minimalist sound he had become known for. A sound which even now, the artist has moved on from and may not be recreated again. 

Infectious grooves, manipulated vocal samples and whirling synth lines still underpin Joe’s aesthetic but a deeper, tougher and more emotive palette is at play. The EP is made up of four distinctly different tracks exploring up-tempo, 4x4 grooves as well chuggy and electro flavours. 

Made somewhere in South London and limited to 300 copies.  

Produced by Joe de Waal.
Mastered by Tom Gillieron.
Pressed by Vinyl Presents.

Delving deep into stripped back, skippy soundscapes, Charlie Logan presents the 9th instalment in our mix series.

Charlie has outputted a consistently solid production style for a few years now alongside his residency at the Brighton based minimal brand, @Minimosoundsuk.

Hailing from the sunny, wind swept shores of England’s south coast, Charlie journeys wistfully through abstract minimal grooves for an hour and a half...

The thirteenth instalment of the series has been recorded by Palace Vinyl resident, Mr Cenz. 

Cenz was a key proponent in the early fusion of Techno and House and his sound weaves it's way through a full spectrum of electronic music drawing inspiration from the initial waves of house, techno and electro as much as contemporary releases. 

As a purveyor of most things electronic, funky and groove-ridden it often becomes hard not to be drawn in when he plays and equally easy to be mistaken between old and new music. 

Cenz has had three decades of experience as a DJ and is the former label boss of the infamous, Organised Sound and Affected Music. He is also the man behind the renowned Lo-Kee moniker and has recently repressed a portion of OS001 alongside two new cuts on the newly formed Palace Trax imprint (PT001). 

It is with great pleasure we present this two and a half hour exploration into underground electronic music from a good friend of ours. It's as classy, understated and low-key as it is serious.

OOZ mix014 - AndreeA

The next instalment of our mix series is brought to you by Goosebumps resident, AndreeA.

In view of AndreeA joining us at The Lion & Lamb on 17th March, we thought it only right to release this hour of deep electro and acid-tinged techno in preparation for the pub. 

Respected by her peers and known for a signature style of stripped back electronic music, Andreea has played at some of the most renowned establishments within the scene such as Club Guesthouse and Waha Festival as well as venues like Cymatic, Fabric and FOLD.

We’re really excited to have AndreeA coming down to play for us on the 17th and hope you enjoy this deep dive into her sound.

The fifteenth mix in the series comes in via the form of a live recording from the legend that is, Lee Renacre aka 100Hz.

Originally formed of three members and now ran by Lee, 100Hz is a prolific electronic recording artist who’s been producing the funkier side of house and techno since 1989. Known for his sultry, stripped down grooves paired with sinister vocals and odd beat patterns, he has carved a truly unique style of electronic music blurring the lines between house, techno and jazz. An iconic track, 'Whisper' is however anything but sinister - full of hope, the track meanders through introspective thoughts on love and positivity. 

Early releases on Optimism as well as his own Format label laid the foundations for a back catalogue of highly sought after records including EPs on Oblong and Pacific in the mid 90s right up to the current day with releases on the minimal labels, Amphia and Curtea Veche. 

100Hz was recognised by Mixmag in 1997 as one of the pioneering UK producers of the time, helping to create a new genre of dance music. His sound pioneered the slightly obscure UK Tech House sound of the 90s which has come into serious demand in recent years. 100Hz's sound is simply integral in the sound of UK underground dance music. 

The live mix was recorded recently in his South London studio.

| OOZ mix016 • Jesse

Delito co-founder and avid digger, Jesse presents the 16th instalment of the OOZ mix series in preparation for the OOZ outing at The Ton of Brix this Saturday, 20th July.

The mix is an intricate, trippy and atmospheric affair meandering through ambient downtempo, trippy breaks, deep techno, electro and rare house grooves.

Jesse came onto our radar due to his stripped back and alternative take on underground electronic music - this mix typifies his sound and style.

We’re really looking forward to his set at OOZ this Saturday 🌟

• OOZ mix017 - Si Brooker •

Next up on the series is new OOZ resident and good friend, Si Brooker aka Jedi Si.

For those of you who have managed to catch Si playing at our parties, afters or nights at Palace, you’ll know how special his record bag is.

Years of collecting and playing underground electronic music have refined his style and sound to a true level of craftsmanship.

Si has presented us with a mix that perfectly represents OOZ’s sound - an intricately woven together masterclass in deep, groove-ridden electronic music. 

He’s as understated as they come despite being a true technician. 

One of our favourite mixes so far - enjoy ❤️‍🔥

OOZ mix018 - Shakolin 

"This is a kind of honest mix that I've recorded using the same record bag I took to one of my recent gigs, featuring music from Umwelt, Damon Wild, Kassem Mosse, Timeline and many more..."

The Closer (Kyiv) resident and Lifeform record shop owner, Andre aka Shakolin - having played for us in London at the end of 2023 - shares a recent home recording for the 18th instalment in the series.

Plaintive speech from Oppenheimer and bleepy techno open the recording with a sense of foreboding for what's about to unravel.

Shakolin meanders his way through dubbed out acid lines and a particularly relevant style of glitchy, minimalist techno. A soft and reflective moment of electro shifts the mix down a gear before proceeding with driving, 4X4 grooves. 

This 75 minute recording comes from a seasoned digger and selector who has rightfully made his way to some of the best underground stages and platforms in the world. 

Enjoy :) <3

We warmly welcome the Small World UK and Statica founder, Alix to present the nineteenth instalment of the series.  

A carefully built and emotive intro of ambient and broken beats meanders into subtle, minimal and dubbed-out house and techno grooves which at points have an electro feel. Alix is a renowned collector with a taste for the obscure and more nuanced flavours of electronic music. 

The recording has a psychedelic feeling to it, operating a bit like a trip - slowly building and bubbling up before hitting an ecstatic rhythm mid way through until being at full force and effect. 🍄

| OOZ mix020 - Scott Braithwaite

After a short hiatus, we’re back with the 20th instalment of the OOZ mix series, which rounds off volume 2. This time we welcome a true pioneer of the underground electronic scene, Scott Braithwaite.

Founder of the influential 90s label Fragmented Records, Scott has been a driving force in shaping the deeper realms of house and techno for decades.

Having worked with artists like Dan Curtin, Morgan Geist, and Jaime Read, Scott’s legacy runs deep through the roots of UK and Detroit techno culture.

For this set, Scott takes us on a journey through deep, groove ridden techno and electro that transcends the listener into a float-like state.

Enjoy  🌀❤️
