Release Notes:
Dance musicÆs got no shortage of highly æindividualÆ characters, but few as
complex as Missouri-born DJ and producer Osunlade. The artist known for
appearing with a bone through his nose is a fully-fledged priest in the
traditional African religion Ifa, and this deeply spiritual approach to life is
reflected in his latest long-player æBeyond ElementsÆ. Partly inspired by recent
travels in Turkey, itÆs an album Osunlade himself describes as æeclectic and
non-commercialÆ, and which will delight those who like their house music deep
and soulful with strong ethnic influences. With Osunlade himself on piano,
guitar, drums, bass and vocals, this is an album not to miss when it drops on
June 18.
