Announced only a few weeks ago, Oh No follows up Dr. No’s Oxperiment by diving again into Egon’s record collection for a region-based intrumental beat album. This time he’s headed into the album inspired-by and sampled-from rare 60s and 70s Ethiopian funk, jazz, folk, soul and psychedelic rock.
Even if you’ve never heard an instrument tuned to the qenet scale before, even if you’re more into ballads than you are tezetas, Oh No’s transformative effect on his source material will blow you away in its otherworldy funkiness. Stonesthrow
