Label:	DISRUPTION PRODUCTIONS
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.00
Catalog #:	DISRUPT 001CD

"36 hip hop instrumentals inspired by and sampled from rare 60s and 70s Ethiopian soul, jazz, funk, folk and psychedelic rock. Super-producer Oh No follows up his heralded Dr. No's Oxperiment by diving again into Stones Throw and Now-Again label-head Egon's record collection for a region-based instrumental beat album. This time he's offered up an album inspired-by and sampled-from rare 60s and 70s Ethiopian funk, jazz, folk, soul and psychedelic rock. Even if you've never heard an instrument tuned to the qenet modes before, even if you're more into ballads than you are tezetas, Oh No's transformative effect on his source material will blow you away in its otherworldly funkiness. This project is a limited edition release on Oh No's own Disruption Productions imprint."

Title:	Exodus Into Unheard Rhythms
Label:	STONES THROW
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	STH 2143CD

"The hip-hop world can now witness the depth of Oh No's musical vision with Exodus Into Unheard Rhythms, a unique concept album bridging his new-millennium beats with the baroque but funky tunes of the venerable Galt MacDermot. Known primarily as the composer of the late-'60s smash musical Hair, Mr. MacDermot distilled the essence of R&B rhythms and Broadway melodies into a unique and potent groove for the Age of Aquarius. After the breakthrough hits from Hair (still heard every day on Oldies radio everywhere), MacDermot -- backed by longtime collaborators and jazz/funk drumming legends in their own right, Bernard Purdie and Idris Muhammad -- perfected his sound throughout the following decades on his own imprint, Kilmarnock Records. MacDermot offered Oh No access to his huge (and still growing) catalog of music, resulting in The Exodus -- an entire album of beats derived solely from Galt MacDermot samples. Recruiting a formidable cast of rappers, including veterans like A.G. and Posdnous from De La Soul, as well as current indie powerhouses like Murs and Vast Aire, Oh No has assembled a hip-hop album that transcends generations."
