Ott - Blumenkraft
The most fantastic modern dub from West Country reclusive genius Ott, who’s new album really is ‘over the top’ in quality, depth and shinning brilliance. Spacey strings, chants, otherworldly noises and pertinent samples collide with his massive rub-a-dub beats and bass. Ott’s music is a world to it’s own, a pure undiluted atmospheric world of swirling stoned sound and colour. Indian to Arabic to African Ott’s dub’s are boundary-less and boundless in their, scope and strength. Ott’s music is a paradox of dub, not stereotypically slow heavy sounds but at o­nce an upbeat dancey dub full of light, world chants and funky beats, while still maintaining a slow and relaxed ambient groove. Following o­n from his recent ‘Hallucinogen In Dub’ album (TWSCD16) for Twisted the solo album is a selection of clean hard grooves and the best dub studio skills, echo, delay, phasing, instruments popping up out of the murk and then submerging again, skills of which Ott is a particular maestro.

Ott is no stranger to the studio, he has for the last 20 years been producing arranging and recording some of the most famous artists including Sinead O'Connor, The Orb, and Brian Eno. Working in a wide range of the best studios in the land from SARM East and West, Real World, and Ridge Farm to Foel in Wales. He has been interviewed in the producers/engineers bible Sound o­n Sound and is currently managed by Strongroom Management UK. He continues to work with many famous artists and along his travels has met up with our own master producer Simon Posford aka Hallucinogen, editing Shpongle. After hearing his studio skills Simon commissioned him to make this modern dub album as an antithesis to his own hurtling psy-trance music.

The results are as you shall see, startling, a stunning example of modern dub and o­ne that is sure to be massive with all dance music and ambient music fans across the globe.


Backroom Beats 2
BB Recordings make a welcome return with a sofa surfing selection of beats from the backroom. The first compilation was very successful, selling out it's first print run and had several tracks licensed to Ministry of Sound’s ‘Chillout Ibiza 2002’ and the Big Chill ‘Loves You’. Part two is an album of epic lounge proportions covering laidback beats, modern dubs, and chilled grooves: a gentle but building compilation that rises from the classical strings of The Egg’s ‘Lost At Sea’, through Tristan’s Fleetwood Mac-esque ‘Sapphire Eyes’, the grooving house vibes of Finland’s Highpersonic Whomen, Ott’s Royksopp-like ‘Joyful Wonder’, up to The Gargoyles psy-beat beauty ‘Spacebaby’.

The Backroom Beats artists have all been busy since the first album. The Egg have just returned from playing at the infamous Sundance Film Festival in America; Contraband have had a good reaction to their single ‘Monkey Business’ o­n Jive and are due to start o­n an album soon; Tristan is o­n tour in South Africa where he played at the Solar Eclipse Festival in December; Esion Jim has been playing hard as the resident dj @ Zeta Bar, Hilton; Gaudi has just finished remixing the new Simple Minds single and as o­ne half of Orchestral World Groove with DJ Pathaan is appearing regularly in London; and Ott has just finished a stunning new album due for release in May. The last two artists are special collectives for the album: Gargoyles are Andrew (Interchill Records), Michele Adamson, Ott, and Simon Posford aka Hallucinogen/Shpongle; Hierophant is a unique collaboration of funksters looking for love in all the wrong places, helped along by Ned Scott (The Egg) and Jessica Blake (Moodswings) with a track called, ‘Need to Know’.

The album’s artwork by Maharishi Graphics is a pixelated Bonsai Step continuing the camouflage theme of the series.

maharishi -

Camouflage is based o­n our most recent work BONSAI STEP.
It is our old Bonsai Forest house camouflage print, pixelated into the style
of the 1960's Russian Spetsnaz camo; it incorporates dragons and bonsai
trees as we continue our efforts to reclaim the symbolic value of camouflage
to be o­ne of nature in the minds of the people , rather than o­ne of war.
