about

The last few years gave Omegaman the opportunity to collaborate with musicians and vocalists around the globe, and together they have explored a Universal Rhythm. Marc Scully has been at work in his Studio 57 Recording laboratory, working with musicians from the US, Canada, and Australia on this release.

First up is longtime Omegaman vocalist and collaborator, the legend himself Pat “Patou” Powell, who was recently the subject of a documentary. This track has the characteristic Omegaman breakbeats, but with some seriously twang'ing guitars and a rudeboy in the outback feel. The Traveller is great vibe, you can just imagine the open road and wind blowing in your face.

After that wild ride comes the smooth, East of the River Nile mood of The Sands of Time, featuring Vancouver's own Emily Molloy on vocals. You might have heard Emily recently on Fort Knox Five's Playin' With Fire, or from one of the many BC rock bands she has fronted. She brings her wide range and a seductive energy to the track, itself another voyage.

Omegaman really hits his stride on the third track, Rose Coloured Glasses, which evokes Portishead and James Bond all in one. This one has Rob Myers of Thievery Corporation and Fort Knox Five wailing away on lead guitar. And the silky chanteuse-like vocals are by Lily Lindsay, a lifelong singer-songwriter from Sydney with her own band Maisie's Vacation.

To finish this global excursion is French vocalist Léa Villani, with her upbeat dance-pop sound. Singing in French, her snappy and sweet vocals are perfect on top of Omegaman's downtempo breakbeats. You can just image yourself riding a Vespa, headed to the beach for the day and feeling the positivity in the air, this is feel good music for sure.

The Allergies are one of my favorite music artists, hands down! This inspired funky as can be music is so addictive, be warned. It ranges from funky soul, Northern Soul stylings, 60's styled Motown or Spector, Conscious Hip-Hop, Latin, Gospel, 70's Soul; my favorite is more like my favorite tracks, (plural): Every Trick in the Book & Get Yourself some, not a dud track. Honestly, you won't be disappointed.**DJs & Audiophiles comes on double Orange pressing at 45 RPM for club. Music Junkie 4 Life
