Meet Oriol: real name Oriol Singhji, born in Barcelona. He lives between London and Cambridge now and possesses some serious musical skills. “Night and Day” connects the dots between Oriol’s musical tastes, from the 70’s fusion and experimentation of Herbie Hancock and Stevie Wonder to the lush house of Theo Parrish, Larry Heard and Recloose. He rewires these influences into something totally exuberant and soulfully fresh. His debut album “Night And Day” has the depth of musicality and subtlety of an artist who knows exactly what he wants, and it’s also the perfect summer album. Pre-order this double album (Planet Mu) HERE via Rush Hour if you know what’s good for you.
Oriol – Jam

Eventhough Belgians are a strange species…I like them. We met one of their kind that goes by the name Alex from On-Point last month at Plastic People (Theo Parrish). To my big surprise Alex shot me a message this weekend saying: “If you sleep on this one, you’d better stop blogging”. I was shocked to have received this threat and got ready to pack up my stuff, shut the website down and go find another hobby untill I decided to actually listen to what Alex sent me
I must admit these alien sounds did take some getting used to, but my peoples from UpHigh Collective managed to “Blend” me over. On the flip you can find Title with “Caravan” and in case you need any more info on this double sided 7″…it can be found HERE.

London connect baby! We met Nick from Spine TV before Theo Parrish played at Plastic People last week. Homegirl Fatima who’s “Mind Travellin’ EP just dropped gets nothing but love. Check out this dope documentary about the Eglo fam and why Fatima is missing some hair. Big ups to Alex, Steve and Sam of course.
This past Saturday we went to Plastic People and witnessed a classic Theo Parrish set from beginning to end. The night was even more special because it could be the last time Theo played at Plastic People. In case you haven’t heard it yet, the club is being threatened with closure by the city and police of London. If you’ve never been to Plastic People before you might wonder what all the fuzz is about. Plastic People is a place like none other, besides from being one of the birthplaces of several styles such as broken beat & dubstep, it’s a unique space in itself. The space is small and the dancefloor has no added lights other than those necessary such as those at the bar. This means you practically have a dark dancefloor where you can dance and enjoy the music the way you choose to. Plastic People also has a unique soundsystem that vibrates through the whole space. Theo Parrish said it’s probably the best sound installation in a small venue. To make a long story short, we need to unite to keep Plastic People from being closed. At the end of his set Theo gave a classic speech of which we were able to record a part, listening to this should give you an idea of the vibe of the night. If you haven’t already, sign thepetition and help save Plastic People!

Somewhere in november this brilliant record was released on Sound Signature and I kindasleptonit I guess. My man Mr. Speak told me about this one, but I just checked it out last week. Theo Parrish has been labeled a musical genius and I never understood why. Well I know now after hearing the A-side Chemistry. Theo Parrish hooked up with the likes of Steve Spacek, AdreyaTriana and Om’Mas Keith to create Chemistry and here it is. If you support good music, buy the full track. Use your own google skills to get it…
