Damian Lazarus' Crosstown Rebels imprint announces, 'Portrait of the Obscure', the stunning new album from Oceanvs Orientalis.Following three superb singles on the label across the beginning of 2024, the nine-track LP offers a comprehensive exploration of the Istanbul-based talent's rich, globally-infused and captivating sound.Safak Oz Kutle, known as Oceanvs Orientalis, is a producer and live performer based in Istanbul. His musical style intricately weaves together diverse sonic tapestries of wide-spanning genres and cultures, and through his creative fusion of these influences, he crafts an immersive world that takes you far away from the usual club music references. His music serves as a celebration of his musical heritage, and this has never been truer than on his superb new album 'Portrait of the Obscure', which again pushes traditional boundaries within the electronic sphere. The nine-track LP project features a showcase of solo and collaborative material alongside close friends such as Tooker, Idil Mese, and Tilahun Gessesse, delivering a journey into the creative mind of one of the scene's most intriguing talents.The bold and riveting project kicks off with the captivating synthscapes, fluttering strings and plucked bass of the gorgeous 'Pulse Antique', before 'Ministry Of Midnight' cuts loose on more jumbled rhythms and intricate organic lines warmed with wordless vocals. Next up are two of the lead singles - the tense and intricate house sonics of 'Neutrality' and the haunting atmospheres and ethereal synth lines of 'Il Lupo' featuring Tooker, while 'Conritmo' continues to bring exotic new string sounds, leftfield melodies and warped bass to this most vibrant exploration of candle-lit house sounds. 'Soul of Calypso' blisses out on far-sighted cosmic chords with sonorous bells and late-night spoken word musings that add all-new character to the innovative grooves. Then comes the laid-back, jazz-infused house of 'Heart Pieces' feat. Idil Mese, a deep and jazzy jungle shuffler in 'Mercury' and the playful horns and lumpy, dub-wise swagger of 'Lanchi Biye'.An album project encompassing it's title perfectly, 'Portrait of the Obscure' is just that - a magnificent snapshot of the unique musical mind of Oceanvs Orientalis.Tracklisting:A1.
