OBaH. – Crossfade EP – Bagpak Solo Series

If you like oldskool beats and harmonies (ObaH – get it?) fused with a next generation house attitude then this EP should leap straight into your hands. Here is a triple track ep of smooth and squelchy, dreamy, funk fuelled grooves reminiscent of early King Britt, Theo Parrish, Moodymann, Black Mahogani, Ovum, Ron Trent, King Street, Prescription, Peacefrog and the unforgettable Miami back room, sunset soirées or poolside parties of old. ‘NY Is On Some Shhh’ is a track that glows and flickers like ET’s heart when he comes back to life whilst its runny oyster bassline slides wave of deep blue gorgeousness that dj’s like Gilles Peterson to Louie Vega will surely play incessantly in the sunshine. The remix of DJ Center’s ‘You Got the Love’ ft Gretchen Parlato is a satin and silk vocal seduction with a pulsing bass and dampened kick that would make a straight line wiggle. What’s not to love about the sort of house music you can really let loose to? This kid’s going places. New York DJ / producer OBaH is kicking ass and taking names.
