Hip Hop producer Oh No taps Italian jazz archives for new project out now via OFFAIR

Today, OFFAIR Records drops the new album by acclaimed Hip Hop producer and beat-maker Oh No. OFFAIR: Dr. No’s Lost Beach out now is his 5th solo release following his last solo masterpiece Dr. No’s Ethiopium.

Oh No is the brother of Madlib and the second half of their duo ‘The Professionals.’ Pitchfork praised Oh No as the kind of producer who can “make beats out of anything” and on OFFAIR: Dr. No’s Lost Beach he does just that merging his Lo-Fi jazz inflected beats with samples from the cult-fave Sonor Music Editions library of Italian music from the 1970s-’80s. Through the samples, Oh No translates the cinematic scores into a daydreamy, beat-driven beach vibe.

Listening to the album, Oh No says “is meant to feel like going on a vacation across the sea to a remote beach island. This record is a journey, straight from the beach, falling down a waterfall and looking up. Each song is a chapter or a scene, it’s like a game where you follow the light air with the wind and you jump off the cliff into the water, enter digital oasis and adventure.”
