Out in March

UK producer Odjbox, presents ‘Penguin’ from his upcoming 'Oak

Sessions' EP out March on EMI's KPM production label.

Hailing from the West of England, Odjbox (Ollie Johnson) has been

producing and creating music for many years. Initially producing

Electro-swing-esuqe music his style has since developed to cover a

wide range of genres that, as a general rule, fit into the broken-beat

category. The last year has seen Odjbox remix Flux Pavilion

(Circus/Big Beat/Atlantic), Nas ‘Made You Look’ and Arthur Conley’s

1967 hit ‘Funky Street’. Current and soon-to-be collaborations

include projects with Akil & Chali 2na of Jurassic 5, UK hip-hop duo

Too Many T’s and of course plenty of original solo productions.

Odbox’s wide range of influences and pop-dynamics brought him to the

attention of EMI, who last year formed a new, artist led library

series, KPM Shorts. The choice to make the 6 track Odjbox ‘Oak

Sessions’ EP the debut release on this series is testament to the

producers skill and EMI’s longstanding reputation for recognizing

ability & talent.

It’s impossible to pigeon hole Odjbox so we won’t try, but in a

nutshell expect clean, concise musical ideas presented in the shape of

contemporary, accessible and predominantly electronic popular music...

‘Penguin’ sees Odjbox tip his hat to the funky, swing style that

first made him. Featuring a swaggering groove, his inimitable low end

synth sounds and a bucket load of skank, this one is dancefloor ready.

"Although my ‘sound’ may be less focused on the swing world these

days; it is and always will be a huge influence to me. Penguin was

envisaged as a bit of nod to that. I hope it’s as fun to listen to as

it was to write." - Odjbox on 'Penguin'
