Oh No – Ethiopium – Concentrate/The Funk
Announced only a few weeks ago, Oh No follows up Dr. No’s Oxperiment by diving again into Egon’s record collection for a region-based intrumental beat album. This time he’s headed into the 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 scale before[1], even if you’re more into ballads than you are tezetas[2], Oh No’s transformative effect on his source material will blow you away in its otherworldy funkiness.
We are releasing this on the same day as: Stones Throw’s Ethiopium Coffee by Intelligentsia.
