I'm not so familiar with the 'super' production of Oh No but i'm into the concept behind 'Dr No's Ethiopium'. Inspired by rare 60s and 70s Ethiopian funk, jazz, folk, soul and psychedelic rock, Oh No has put together a crazy 34 track mix fusing western hip-hop beats with unique, otherworldly samples to excellent effect. Not to dissimilar to the style of J. Dilla's 'Donuts' or Edan's recent 'Echo Tape' LP, Oh No exploits a vast, unending record archive to produce a work that is hard to define but a total treat to hear. Sample choices are super tasteful and the execution is super skilled and cheeky as hell..... I should image it ain't easy to cut these mixes with all the strange time signatures and differing production qualities of each record but Oh No doe's a fine job with his source material.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

Super-producer Oh No follows up his acclaimed ‘Dr. No’s Oxperiment’ by diving again into Stones Throw and Now-Again label-head Egon’s record collection for a region-based instrumental beat album. This time he's offered up a 36 track 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 modes before, or you’re more into ballads than tezetas, Oh No’s transformative effect on his source material will blow you away in its otherworldly funkiness, with a wonky lopsided quality that homages the legacy of J-Dilla while proving to FlyLo, Ras G, Teebs and crew that the Left Coast old guard still know their way around a hard edit. Limited edition release on Oh No’s own Disruption Productions label.
