Omar-S / FXHE

this music is pretty rudimentary

Some of these tracks make really excellent DJ tools, I was really partial to the a couple off the Luke Hess EP.

But I guess the whole debate over form and function's not really worth getting into again is it?

all records are deejay tools in the hands of a competent deejay. contrary to some peoples' opinions, i think omar-s shit works fine all by itself. you have to like repetition though!

i think the 'simple than sorry' (007?) record is pretty functional. it does have a more song-y mix but i prefer the 'basic mix' because it seems to go with anything!

yeah the basic mix is the one on there. i rock it under disco jams, when the rattlesnake sounding percussion comes in, people go nuts.

yeah, he is just killing it. word from the man is that he is taking a break from the heavy deejaying for a while to work in the studio more.

Yep, saw this elan. I've been checking the FXHE site every day since he put the "coming soon" up for that one.

i am using a track from 002 right now.

unfortunately, my new age california landlord lives above me, and doesn't appreciate me workin the decks late at night. so...fuck, right?

The new one os for sale on the FXHE website now. And it looks like he recently re-pressed 002 1/2 (the excellent vocal version of "U") and Compulation #1 (both out of print for while I believe) and also the wacky Kyle Hall one. With those three and the new one, my FXHE collection is complete. Yes!!! This whole record collecting thing is a lot like my baseball cards as a kid.

home sick, mail woman arrives :)

I'm hoping for mine today!

I got mine too. What you think elan? It's another smash if you ask me. The sound sample doesn't even remotely capture its epic-ness.

In the first minute or so the left channel on mine cuts out/goes to static multiple times. Do I have a jacked-up copy or do you have the same issues?

i read some other people saying they had issues with the vinyl, too, but it was a bass-drum-too-loud issue. mine works. i love it! i like it so much better than psychotic photosynthesis, but it's definitely of the same seed. the melodies develop a little more here. i wish he would just go all out melodically in a maximalist style.

this might be the first record he did not at nsc and they might have fucked up the mastering.

the Luke Hess record is pretty ill, i think.

that said, i need to order a lot of this stuff, epecially the new jams. everything i hear is just "you need to hear this i am destroying me ears to it yessss"

"I don't need other people's music; I got over 100 songs released. I can make fucking six fucking Fabric records right now. I can probably make fucking ten CDs just of unreleased shit."

FUCK

well why not put together a cd of completely unreleased stuff if you feel its that strong? Housemates in fabric first so i'll still look forward to hearing it, i'd actually slept on his stuff until quite recently but been hammering whatever I can get my hands

nice

the majority of that cd is previously released stuff.

so psyched

"well why not put together a cd of completely unreleased stuff if you feel its that strong? Housemates in fabric first so i'll still look forward to hearing it, i'd actually slept on his stuff until quite recently but been hammering whatever I can get my hands

he says in their press blurb that he wanted to keep some of his more recognized tracks on there for the people who haven't heard them. i feel like he is still widely slept on, hopefully this will change that! i can't believe he didn't put "just ask the lonely" on it though....

i am loving this.

i was just playing devils advocate really, i love his stuff. Anyone spot the exclusive tracks? ive only a few of the singles and the compilation album

i think these the only exclusives. all of the others have definitely been released, but i don't know these:

01. Omar-S - Polycopter
02. Omar-S - Flying Gorgars
05. Omar-S - Crusin Conant
08. Omar-S - 1 Out Of 853 Beats

i've no idea given that this is all new tro me. however, in the press release gubbins :

"there are about four tracks on there that haven't been released yet"

xpost. and there are the four listed !

he has a new 12" out on sound signature too. his first full 12" release that's not on FXHE i think?

is the fabric mix out?

I don't think so elan. According to the RA link above, "Fabric will release Fabric 45: Omar-S on March 16 in the UK and April 7 in the US." Do you have a review copy or something mark e or are you a Fabric subscriber?

i am looking forward to this fabric business so much. i love his ridiculously cocky persona, too... esp if the dude is actually dorky and nervous as someone hinted above

omar-s iceblock tray, lol

that new one on sound signature has a track called 'deep valve cover'. how detroit do you wanna get?

I had a long conversation with Alex while he was on the line. Fave quote: "You know what I hate? People who fucking think I need them"

....fuck

lool @ icetray

Genre: Deep House

I got the yellow icetray for free when I ordered six records from him. My four year old thinks it's the coolest.

keep it deep

frozen

Do you have a review copy or something mark e

for my sins, yes i do.
and i was tempted by the ice tray i cant deny.

isnt he into import car racing and video games? nervous and dorky for sure.

so so so so so so so so so pumped for the fabric mix.

damn i don't even get to post the link to the interview i did? ;) some more great shit from omar-s, dood kills me.

ha didn't know that was yours

he's the best place to get his records from, at least if you're in america. great prices and he might call you to confirm the order and then you can talk about music and whatever.

i mean, who else is selling eps for $5 and lps for $10 anymore?? it's fucking crazy. and free shipping if you buy more than $20. you can get four new singles for the same price as one or two anywhere else.

LOL tbh I didn't know who richardo vilawhatever was till a year or so ago too(overrated mullet ketmine shit)

fuck

"Psychotic Photosynthesis" is the best record I've heard in ten years from any-damn-body.

this man is an absolute gem

why is someone being macho/arrogant really so fascinating?

I like his music plenty but seriously, the jizzing over crankiness and narkiness that goes on in pop culture is a farce.
