Omar-S / FXHE

thanks for dumping that porn sample in the middle of this album omar-s, i only had it at top volume

haha, yeah... and the track underneath it is quite nice, but man that is a skeezy porn sample

The track under the pr0n IS really good... Man, the new album is really fantastic, huh? My favorite tracks after just a couple listens: "Skynet 2B", the title track, and "Ganymede"... But so solid. I wondered the other day when the P-fork review showed up if he was bombarded with mail-order requests (especially given that the review specifically said that was the best way to get the music)!

god this is so fucking sick.

the album? or is there something new

Not sure what Matt meant, but yeah, there's something new; really digging it:

still you say criticize

:O

king kong of house

there's some awesome stuff on the new album

the nelson county ep is great. he has such a distinctive grammar re: house.

the xlr8r podcast from may is crucial

reading back over this thread is embarrassing

deeply deeply embarrassing

who are you embarrassed for?

myself

I was a bit down on this after hearing the opening track but the rest of the new album is so fucking good. The last track, Heard'Chew Single, is nearly perfect.

this dude rules imo

best winter bus/train riding music

let's talk about how much omar-s rules

i saw him DJ over the summer and the first thing he did when he got in the DJ "booth" (really just a big table between the speaker stacks with the DJ gear on it) was to kill all the lights in the house. then he took down the purple spotlight that was pointing at the DJ booth. he actually grabbed the spotlight and pulled it down. then he stuck it on the floor under the table with the light facing the dancers feet. and then he started his set.

and he played this, too!

the first oasis CD is really good

thank you for letting me be myself is really good

early tracks i love:
"miss you"
"always there"

he has a lot of records

are all the "side traxx" releases in that same instrumental hip-hop style as the first?

To answer an old question and since I just discovered there were more than 2, NO

This track from Vol. 4 is kinda like a slinkier version of vol. 1

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qooVbjoewU

the vol. 1 sound that is

this second life is kinda awesome? omar-s by numbers kinda awesome, but damn

He has been rather “killing it”, as they say, these past few years

Maybe he’s just always been killing it since 03 or whenever

sheer genius

he's the best

new track sounds super

new album - £60!

yeah wtf. i guess occasionally living in the states throws me a bone - assuming ordering through fxhe is going to be a lot cheaper.

though i'll probably wait for downloads tbrr *shrugs*

Tip!

I'll wait as well, tbh.

I'll Do it Again makes quite a scene at Hot Mess.

"bitch, I fucked your girlfriend too/ shirts and skirts, it's all the same!"

haha omgggg how did i miss that one

hahaha!

RIGHT?

from 2019, good lord this is irie, can I get a whole album of this, please?

i saw omar's post earlier and wandered what was going on

wondered

i had heard several bad stories previously to the point i had stopped playing his music, so sadly this is not surprising.

Dee Diggs said as much in her reply to Supercoolwicked's post

I'm not in the scene to hear stories but his interviews always seemed to have an aggressive tone. Some of the samples he's used I found very off to the point I can't listen to his work. I like productions in that style but there are people doing better work. Sad to see DJs and producers taking pity on him and sending him support.

bad vibes have dripped from this guy for years, decades now. i don't recommend re-reading this thread, but it's all there early on. final straw was openly mocking victims of d. may a few years ago. my listening life will be just fine w/o AOS.
