about

New side project from one half of In Flagranti, Sasha, and synth collaborator, Visini. Where as In Flagranti’s other projects include a wide variety of edits and productions covering the wide range of disco, new disco, italo, synthpop, house, electro, etc…this new partnership slows it down a bit, delving deep into cosmic space disco dripping with futuristic synths and minimal tendencies. The sounds are so atmospheric, I can close my eyes and imagine the foreign sci-fi film to go along with it. Check out the hypnotic pulse on “Crux Of The World(1),” the enlightening progression on “More Thieving(3),” and the smooth, lush sounds of “A Radical Change In Directiojn(4).” I believe their name is taken from a movie which stars a round headed boy in a village full of points. It’s abstract and weird, and a perfect companion to the music here. Fans of Professor Genius and the Italians Do It Better label will love this. - turntablelab.com

Imagine Jan Hammer ran with a down tempo electro label of five years ago, and he and one of today’s disco revivalists decided to make music together as OBLIO. That’s not what happened but it’s what it sounds like. I haven’t been able to get any links for OBLIO. It’s like record shopping before the internet. The EP is called “The Crux of the Matter” so perhaps because that’s exactly the point, getting back to what’s important: the music.

I think Oblio might be something to do with Inflagranti, I cannot be 100% sure, but hey who can these days. Anyway onto the music: “The Crux Of The Matter” is a pretty ace nu-disco joint, leaning more towards the Italo / electronic sound with it’s analogue bass, spacey synths, driving beat and some ace phasing going on too. Next up on side-A is “The Crux Of The Matter (Edit)”, I am sure you can guess. Over on side-B “More Thieving” is a brilliant filmic, slo-mo balearic movie theme, I just dunno what the film is yet. Last up on the EP is “A Radical Change Of Direction” which is a minimal late night driving theme, proggy bass, soft synth pads and relentless rhythm.
