O-Dessa - Deeper - 12"

One of the greatest things about this sound, and all its variants, is how it seems to be able to fuse to all styles and genres before it to itself. When we first heard the UK producer known as O-Dessa, it got us thinking of the same overall air of Burial. But as we started truly taking it in, and all the ideas inherit within the tracks completely resonated in our minds, it was clear this was not only a companion to the aforementioned realm of sound in feel, but something completely new otherwise.

For starters, the rhythms lurking below the bassline where nothing short of a combination of old Skool and something you might hear on a dirty south mixtape. But somehow, even with all that, in what sounds like madness on paper, it all managed to somehow commingle in a completely driving and breathtaking way. The subtle tear-out nature of this producer is even more apparent in the second track, "Million Dollarz" which is a gradual decent into layers of tweaked amens, but with a grandeur unlike anything heard prior, even with how much that drum has been chopped throughout the ages.

Once again, we have to thank Starkey for hearing this material, and pulling our coat. You should hear much from O-Dessa down the line, on his path to reinventing the whole sound, as many have in their own individul way before him.
