OS_02 hits the streets on the 15th of February 2005. Having set an outstanding standard with OS_01, John Digweed and Bedrock Records look to Jonathan Lisle to push the tempo with the second in the series that looks towards the best of tomorrows burgeoning talent!
The album was mixed live using 4 DNS-5000’s, 2 1210s, EFX and a Korg Z1 synthesiser. The tracks were de-constructed and loops re-created using all the elements of each track and mixed live over the top. Or to put it another way - you might hear a drum loop mixed over track 3 which consists of a snare from track 5 and a kick from track 7.
Jonathan approaches OS_02 with a unique perspective and idea to create one 80 min piece. Different elements from all the tracks weave in and out of the entire mix with live keyboards played over the top.
OS_02 opens with futuristic ambient soundtrack Cosmic Baby layered with breakbeats of Relysis and vocals of Rabbit in the Moon. In the first 15 minutes 5 tracks have weaved in and out of each other often as 3 tracks at once.
Despite mentioned, the compilation includes tracks by Habersham, Hardkiss, Steiger and PMT to name just a few. It’s going to be a hot February!
