OTB 009EP
|
Lockyear expands the inventive palette heard on his 2016 OTB debut with Wave Knowledge. The muscular rhythm of "Bodymind" is fertile ground for sweeping pads and a lively arpeggiator, combining tense lows and soaring highs for dancefloor euphoria. "Wave Knowledge" swirls distorted stabs and playful bleeps around the bassline while mystical pads search for peace of mind. At the heart of closer "Taming the Elephant" is an enigmatic vocal that incites a meditative state alongside subtly pulsating chord. Hand-stamped with a design by 88888.

OTB 006EP
|
Edition of 250 hand-numbered copies with individually hand-stamped center labels by interdisciplinary artist duo 88888. Lockyear, based in London after honing his craft and tastes in Manchester, explores new territory for the OTB label, drawing influence from dance music spanning multiple decades and regions, from Detroit to Norway, Amsterdam, and Vancouver. "Store Street" channels the capacious vigor of packed Manchester warehouses from years gone by with a charging lead and polyrhythmic drum line. "Katabatic Wind" envelops a tense bottom line with a symphony of disjointed ambient textures and glassy, washing synths while the groove's driving meditation tugs on feet and minds alike.
