Little White Earbuds: LWE Podcast 190: Octo Octa @ MNS

LWE Podcast 190: Octo Octa Posted: 19 Jan 2014 10:01 PM PST The past three years have seen Amanda Brown’s label 100% Silk release so much music it’s quite frankly a bit difficult to digest it all. Undoubtedly its stand-out moment of 2013 (and perhaps the entire catalog to date) was Octo Octa’s Between Two Selves album. The eight lush, sun ripened house tracks stood their own amongst a horde of throwback genre releases last year without ever themselves sounding contrived or merely derivative. Some may have been surprised to find that this was in fact the third album for the Brooklyn based producer, born Michael Bouldry-Morrison in Chicago. His first outing on the label (which has been home to all of his releases so far) was the Let Me See You EP, followed swiftly by a cobbled together collection of working tracks that formed the Rough, Rugged and Raw album a few months later. A collaborative album in 2012 with Brown and her LA Vampires project matched Bouldry-Morrison’s melodic rhythms with Brown’s ethereal, poppy vocals. LWE discussed vocals with the producer, the love he has for his 100% Silk family, and found out why we won’t be hearing too many remixes from him. He also put together our 190th exclusive podcast; an outstanding collection of house music and a truly sublime intro thanks to his light fingers and his dad’s own record collection.
