Summer is on the horizon, peeps. It’s time to pump up those sounds. So open your box as SexOnWax returns to the source. Staying true to our name, our essence. Presenting you with a very special digital and vinyl EP for your aural excitement only. First up is the massive toon of four-track goodness, Paralexia. Feel our groove. Really, what could be sexier? Despite the name there can be no misapprehension of what’s going on here. The patterns of Omid’s Paralexia see fractal flurries of melody sprinkled with insane piano tinkles. These ivories are driven upwards by solid synth gold and old skool drum builds. With a whirling breakdown that feels like a waterfall crashing over your head. It all adds up to a proper prolonged derangement of the senses. So much so that the party people of Miami went ballistic when it was promo’d by SOS during their set at DJ mag’s pool party. Check the link. Show us yer shimmy! Cos Bites Without Teeth* is more of a builder, folks. And if the beats don’t grab ‘n’ shake you in their grimy grip, then the wonky bass will. Claps like a funker. Phases like a wrong ‘un. Builds like a bastardo. It’s food for thought… A bonus here from SexOnWax’s popular April release in the form of Lilly and Poppy. Except this time Mr O brings a Vinyl Dub to the table: a reliable beauty with a dramatic and yet delicate bouquet ‘du jour’. In fact, it’s almost as epic as ‘The Epic’! So there you go, guys. Paralexia is a real package. Boasting more beef than Argentina, more heat than technotonics and more eruptions than Iceland. All of ‘em sure-fire floor shakers with an ultra-modern/vintage sound, best served with sunshine and a smile. Feeeel the difference.

Omid 16B -Lilly and Poppy (Original mix) Omid 16B -Lilly and Poppy (Kevin Shiu Remix) Omid 16B -Can’t Deny the Three (Omid’s Tripped Out Mix) Omid 16B -Can’t Deny The Three (Original dub) Download available to buy: April 12th A brand new decade brings a brand new track from SexOnWax. Recently debuted on the much applauded SOS Ministry of Sound compilation, Omid’s new track ‘Lilly and Poppy’ is, typically, the kind of track that will never tire. For sure, the kind of track that will never grow old, or ugly. The kind of track that will never feel out of place, whether it’s heard at home, in a club, or even if it was re-imagined within a movie. In fact, in trademark 16B style, it’s teeming with cinematic qualities. Elevating. Heart-fluttering. A gripping narrative gyrates between minor and major keys, melancholy stabs and peppy, piano-driven builds. A romance that grows, organically, layer upon layer, with synth pad progressions and crunchy, punchy beats combining to strike an emotional chord. Clocking in at over 10 minutes, the dimensions are pretty grand, in all respects, as ‘Lilly and Poppy’ makes ‘Mission Possible’, because we can! The remix comes courtesy of Canadian producer Kevin Shiu. Based in Vancouver, Kevin has been at the forefront of club culture since the early ’90’s. His signature style ranges from deep tech house through driving techno and remains true to the underground sound that first inspired him: a deep, moody sound with pounding percussion and a mighty hypnotic groove. Plus 2 bonus tracks (as featured on the recent compilation ‘MOS presents SOS’) Omid 16B ‘Can’t Deny The Three’ (Omid’s Tripped Out mix) Omid 16B ‘Can’t Deny The Three’ (Original Dub) Much Love, SexOnWax...

The sun’s blazing down on The City. Temperatures have even been topping those in the Med. Yet Omid’s new release – ‘The Epic’ – is still giving us goosebumps. Making the hairs on our necks stand to attention. Indeed, not since Omid collaborated with Morel on ‘Escape (Driving to Heaven)’ has he committed to such a ‘hooooj’ and ambitious choon. Defining a massive new moment for SexOnWax in 2009, ‘The Epic’ is the past, present and future, combined. Honest, hands up, heads down House Music – a moment stretching out into infinity…. Just listen to the instrumental Dub Mix. This monumental wave of sound rises fiercely up out of nowhere to reveal an insane rip current of beefed up beats and bass. The synth pads surge ahead, with percussive embellishments supporting the ride. It’s an adventure of box-your-head-in proportions. And how the bottom end moves with the piano chord progressions is something else approaching a symphony. The irresistible ‘piano loops of love’ that explode between your ears after the beat drops and the bowel-rumbling bassline returns. The arrangement of this polyrhythmic mind trip positively swaggers. Cruising through eight and a half minutes with apparent ease. Alternatively, you can head for the Vocal Mix, where the song is at its most melodious, harmonious and uplifting. Here, you are welcomed onboard by growling synthesiser pads and a crushing kick drum. The journey begins… and the excitement grows. Guitar licks and a rippling bass line, recorded live by Omid, add muscle to rhythm and nurture the groove, always The Groove. The flow continues. Introducing the lilting vox of French chanteuse Anysa. Her dreamy delivery comes straight from the heart, as we always appreciate here at SOW. Needless to say, cooking in the heat of all this epic-ness are some bionic builds and rapturous hooks. All together gathering a cosmic momentum that we reckon will have us reaching for the sky, all summer long! What else to say but ‘The Epic’ is here, as large as life, ego-free and definitely built for an...

February 2009, London: SexOnWax is all about propagating club music of distinction – and quality, eschewing passing trends in favour of a passion more timeless and pure. It therefore brings us indescribable pleasure to announce the latest addition to Omid’s fresh, new Sequential series. Yes, as the blizzard of the world continues, SexOnWax flies high into 2009 on the wings of Sequential 002 by Omid 16B. Sequential 002 encompasses two very different tracks: ‘Same As You’ and ‘The Move’. And these, in their various incarnations, represent the different sides of Omid’s psyche as well as the depth of his musicianship. ‘Same As You’ strikes out as an impressively fluid arrangement, where no (non-original) samples were used during production, whether it’s the synthesised lead lines, the beats or bass, which is obviously a pretty remarkable feat these days! Also essential to this Sequential is the emotive saxophone, provided by the overly able Simon Taylor, together with the 80s-style vox. Here Omid gets busy on vocal duties himself, recording layered Heaven 17-esque harmonies, alongside the mighty Loui Smith and Luke Armstrong. (This actually brings Omid full circle as he used to sing and perform in an indie band!) Of the variations available, the Dub Mix and Club Dub strip things down for utmost dancefloor impact, while the swirling Vocal Mix ensures the ‘Same As You’ message hits home.  “I came up with the idea to have a few more musicians involved in ‘Same As You’ when I had some time off touring, so I could make the electronic vibes less stagnant and more spontaneous. I had Simon Taylor from Ritz Music store in Putney, London play sax, and Loui Smith and Luke Armstrong (aka The Duke) plus myself on vocals.  “On the days of recording we jammed around with ideas and kept it natural and simple, yet moving forward with new harmonies and a better arrangement (the original version was 13 minutes long!).  “I really enjoyed the way it developed through a space of six months. Kinda sense it has an unusual ‘80s meets now’ feel to it, and even though it went through many changes it almost ended up right back to how it started.” Omid 16B   Next up, the way ‘The Move’ moves will definitely keep you guessing as to what could happen next and, since it’s packed with head-spinning surprises, it’s sure to invoke mass hysteria when heard properly on a good system. Arranged to get you deranged, ‘The Move’ challenges listeners with an exciting mash-up of changing rhythms that are held tightly in place by a funky-ass, live-sounding bassline. An epic flashback advanced by futuristic thinking, ‘The Move’ arrives in two main flavours: Live Club Dub and Live Vocal Mix, as outlined by Omid, below.  “I don’t really care how long tracks end up, as long as they flow with a bassline, but even I was taking it too far when I ended up with this 30-minute club track (‘The Move’)! I wanted to include all my favourite elements in a solid club toon and build the track like a mini DJ mix.  “There are recognisable sounds and grooves you may have heard before, but that’s not what this track is about. This track is about how we can move forward yet retain the best things from the past within house music.  “I’ve been playing the Dub for a few months and can definitely feel its less serious and more fun approach works on the dancefloor. The Vocal Mix featuring Loui Smith then adds that little spark and lift for your more serious clubbers.” Omid 16B  These two new beauties from the SexOnWax stable are due to hit the streets for Miami WMC, where you’re likely to feel them during the SOS gig in Bed, in Miami, Tuesday the 24th of March. So enjoy the trip of Sequential 002, SexOnWax’s first release of...
