Wisdom features six tracks from producer (and one of the label’s founders) Ojah.
On the A side we showcase the track “Wisdom”, a meditational instrumental steppers that features sounds of the kora, a west african instrument that we find very soulful and inspiring. Alongside there are two versions, each of them more stripped-back and spaced-out than the previous, mixed on the board for additional dubwise pressure.
On the B side we have the middle-eastern influenced track “Awasa” that features Nik Torp,
keyboard player from The Specials, on melodica duties transporting us in space and time.
Following are two versions, two dub deconstructions that take the track to different territories.
Equally suited to enjoy at home or on a sound system, the sound of these tracks has been
meticulously taken care off throughout the whole process.
Mixed in analog style and fashion by Ojah, mastered via 1/2 inch tape by Lewis Hopkin and pressed on heavyweight 180g vinyl, this release is ready to make a statement.
Limited edition of 500 copies, hand-stamped and hand-numbered.
All tracks written & produced by Oscar Pablos "Ojah" at Alchemy Dubs Studio, London, UK
Melodica on “Awasa” by Nik Torp
Mastered by Lewis Hopkin at Stardelta Audio Mastering
