COMES WITH FREE DOWNLOAD CODE! Same Same but Different, the familiar phrase heard throughout south east Asia, a perfect description to characterize Onras latest project, a follow up to his 2007 LP - Chinoiseries. So almost five years later, here we go back on the trail of another Asian beat journey with 32 Hip-Hop instrumentals inspired by Chinese and Vietnamese music. A lot has happened in between: The Big Payback with Byron the Aquarius.
The exotic, mysterious pop and folk Chinese records of the 60s and 70s with their epic operatic and orchestral feel and sealed from the Western counter culture rumblings of the time, not to mention alive with
vintage vinyl hiss and crackle, may not seem the easiest source material to work with but after hermetically sealing
himself in his Parisian beat cave Onra has come with a more than worthy return for all the time and money spent in the
vinyl basements and backrooms of the Far East. There's ample variation but a coherent whole, from the more electronic
feel of "A New Dynasty" and "All Night", to the soundtrack vibe of "Mai's Theme" and "Fight Or Die" and the straight beat sound of "No Matter What" and "Remember The Name" and he's even found some breaks! Inspired by the idea of the LP as a sequence of film scenes this intense burst of beats and distinct vibes form an accomplished rounded full length.
