Nightmares On Wax  -  African Pirates

Under his Awanto 3 guise, Steven van Hulle has long been considered a producer with immense potential. Now, he’s finally delivered on that promise with Opel Mantra, his stunning debut album.

To be released across three 12” singles between now and March (with all of the tracks to be collected together on CD at a later date), Opel Mantra twists house music into intoxicating new shapes, fusing a myriad of global influences into one thrilling, surprising whole. This is clandestine, atmospheric deep house as you’ve never heard it before. And boy, does it sound good.

Anyone with a keen interest in the Amsterdam electronic music scene will be familiar with van Hulle’s work. He’s already released a number of acclaimed solo singles on Rush Hour (his loose-limbed, decidedly cosmic debut, For Five, appeared in 2010), alongside highly regarded collaborations with fellow Dutch producers Tom Trago (under the Alfabet alias), Young Marco and San Proper. To date, though, his output has been limited to a handful of inspired productions.

Having had a glimpse of his talents, Opel Mantra proves his credentials once and for all. This first 12” in the series offers more than enough proof. Bristling with humid atmospheres, voodoo rhythms and tropical grooves, it fuses heavy African and South American influences with contemporary deep house sounds and grooves.

The main force behind OOFT Music is Ali Herron. Originally cutting his production chops with tracky edits and some early OOFT! remixes alongside The Revenge, Ali has been steadily building up his own studio over the last 5 years, putting out a series of deep, pitched- down house tracks on labels such as Instruments of Rapture, PPF, Delusions of Grandeur, Rememory and Wolf Music.

DJ-wise he has played in most of the clubs that matter in Scotland, including The Sub Club, The Arches, Glasgow School of Art, Stereo, Snafu, and The Reading Rooms amongst many others. Recent European trips have seen him take his sound across Germany, Poland, Finland, France and Spain.

Originally running the L.E.S.S. Productions imprint alongside The Revenge and DJ 2Three, Ali’s main creative outlet is currently his own Foto Recordings label which also showcases material from colleagues such as Andy Ash, Deep Space Orchestra and Craig Bratley.

For artists to get into the music industry is a tough job, its hard to get recognised for making even the best of music. Here I will strive to uncover the very best hidden talent amidst this world of chaos to try and bring a bit of order to your unique listening experience. I will also try and help listeners to learn a bit about the artists they are listening to and not take music for granted, because although music is common everywhere nowadays, a lot of effort goes into making a single track, so by just learning what the artist is all about makes the music a bit more worthwhile!

Why trust the music I upload? - I am a professional DJ and producer myself, and I know first hand just how brutal the music industry is. My taste and judgment on music might not be everyone's cup of tea, but if there is one thing for sure, it is that the music I post is always of good quality, produced/recorded by proper musicians (i.e. not like any EDM bullshit you hear nowadays made by fakes)

The type of music you will find here will be a wide mixture ranging from Chicago house to melodic and electronic styles. But if its good, it will be up here.

So happy listening and spread the new movement of proper music. :)
