Ossia Vinyl

Through running a range of record labels and being a member of Bristol’s Young Echo Sound, he has amassed a wide knowledge and in-depth understanding of music that informs his own skewed, futuristic drenched-in-dread aesthetic and his unhinged take on soundsystem & club music. Following a run of 12' releases for Berceuse Heroique, Blackest Ever Black and a selection of his own labels, his latest album 'Devils Dance' sees a return to Blackest Ever Black - channelling tail-thrashing dancehall pressure and art-of-darkness ambience and introspection. Ossia embodies the best tradition of Bristol underground music and has become notorious for bending the rules of genre & club convention. His live and DJ sets encompass a very contemporary and idiosyncratic well of influences: grime, techno, jazz, steppers, dub, post-punk, industrial abrasion and concrète minimalism… Rattling between moments of suspense and high-powered dancefloor mania with constant twists and turns.
