Oceanvs Orientalis - Neutrality (Incl. Nick Curly Remix) [Crosstown Rebels]

Oceanvs Orientalis gives us a preview of his highly anticipated album 'Portrait of the Obscure' on Crosstown Rebels with the third and penultimate single 'Neurality', remixed by 8Bit and Cecile boss Nick Curly. Istanbul-based Safak Oz Kutle, known as Oceanvs Orientalis, is a producer and live act who fuses the rich sonic cultures of Turkish, Kurdish, Armenian and Arabic music to create his own take on electronic music. The first two singles from his upcoming album on Damian Lazarus' legendary Crosstown Rebels imprint have showcased his diverse sound at its best, and now the third offering and final single before the LP's release once again confirms him as a standout talent by unveiling the captivating sounds of 'Neurality'.

An absorbing and exciting production, 'Neurality' features a dark and enveloping groove that is multi-layered and hypnotic, with various glistening vocals, tinkling percussion lines, and ethereal pads that draw you in for a mesmerizing journey. Nick Curly, a remixer who needs no introduction, is as integral to the tech house genre as anyone in the scene, heading up key labels like 8Bit and Cecile while helping to define the genre as we know it today. His interpretation is deep and warm, with agile drums carefully spaced between vocal whispers that bring human soul. An excellent final preview of what is still to come, 'Neurality' delivers another outstanding production, leading us perfectly into the full project's release this April.
