Okandi – Devil I Know

It’s just a single track but an important return of O. Children’s singer as a solo effort. It’s hard to say from this one song what to expect from him next, but most probably will keep the direction where his band was heading with goth moody ballads.

In 2010 I was overwhelmed to see a bunch of newcomer goth bands who could pour fresh blood in the veins of this genre that just keeps coming and going with a heartbeat that does one forceful thump once every five to ten years. In ’10 I stumbled upon Led Er Est who made a debut the year before, then O. Children’s first record came out this year, and these two etched a mental note to the start of the decade for me. So, this is why I’m really happy to see something new again from this Okandi guy.

Underworld ‎– Drift Series 1

This is a vast body of work. It reaches into every corner of the electronic music world, it’s extensive, and mostly better than just good. But as one release it’s impossible to weigh or review, it’s like labelling a producer’s full discography.
