Oriol

Based in Cambridge, England but born in Barcelona, Spain, Oriol Singhji went by his first name only when he released his productions. He debuted on <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Planet+Mu%22">Planet Mu</a> with the 2010 12” Coconut Coast, a memory-triggering hybrid of late-‘70s jazz fusion, early-‘80s electronic R&B, and early-2000s broken beat with all the handmade warmth of a <a href="spotify:artist:3j7teie3p6UnbA8nW51Trz">Larry Heard</a> production. It instantly made him a contemporary of both <a href="spotify:artist:2AR42Ur9PcchQDtEdwkv4L">Floating Points</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:1AEcpjnSCmm53IBZQo3g9z">Dâm-Funk</a>. Joined by a remix by <a href="spotify:artist:1qykxtFM9KoTti5y3xV1uk">FaltyDL</a>, as well as remixes of another track on the flip side (contributed by <a href="spotify:artist:7tDwkE4GtB5MKlmXfIEqMh">Jake Slazenger</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:52M3GEvfaCCD7BvT3Uv8PL">Shortstuff</a>), the A-side was flexible enough to be spun in dubstep, house, and otherwise vintage synth funk sets. Two weeks after it was released, <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Planet+Mu%22">Planet Mu</a> issued Oriol’s first full-length, Night and Day. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi
