If this item in stock, then you will get an infomation E-Mail!As one of the founding talents of James Ruskins continuing Blueprint Records empire or Richard Polson and Nick Duntons seminal Surface Records, we at THEMA dont really think we need to remind you who Oliver Ho is. Since 1996 he has released a steady stream of high quality, stylistically diverse, and highly dependable records on Blueprint, his own Meta, Light and Dark imprints, and such leading labels as Klang Electronik, Macro, and Poker Flat that bridge the gaps between techno, tech-house, and deep exploration and always keep DJs like us reaching for them when we need that not-quite-ordinary thing that keeps people moving. Comes on transparent / smokey marbled red vinyl.
With his different aliases and long career, it’s sometimes difficult to say what exactly makes his sound so unique, but we’ve always enjoyed their tight, funky grooves that keep experimentation in mind at all times. It’s a delicate balance that most couldn’t maintain, but over 15 years Oliver has nailed it almost every time, and we’re proud to have him aboard here for more of the same exceptional quality we’ve come to expect from yet another legendary producer. Whether its under his own name or his more house-focused Raudive material, we’ve always been very impressed with Oliver’s originality, and we’re pleased to report that he integrates some of those avant-garde tendencies noted on his new Wires releases to excellent effect. Actually, some of that comes out on Glass Hearts opening track of the EP, a spooky echofest haunted by abstract, metallic keyboards and repeated vocal detritus. [info from wa]
