This post might not get very many visits, likes, or tweets but I am OK with it. Those of you who are interested enough to press play will be in for a treat. Also, very glad that this only requires me to spell the name and not pronounce it. Odjbox! AKA Ollie Johnson from the UK. [SoundCloud]
This jam is the closest sound I’ve heard to the electrosoulhiphop sound of Pretty Lights. Actually, when it played on Hypem I thought DVS had released something new today. It’s got the big hip hop bass, a groovy pace, and that eerie, fade away in the distance, soulful vocal sample. I really don’t know how to explain it any better than to say this: wait for the little drop at like 1:45 and tell me it doesn’t sound similar.
Pretty Lights is my in my top 3 which is why I love this beat. What do you guys think?
