Conceived originally as a moniker for movie soundtracks, by fusing the Portuguese words for ‘house’ and ‘new’, Casanova is an alternative musical output for Mindskap and this release on SexOnWax Recordings is a dream 10 years in the making… Inspired by such classics as ‘Driving To Heaven’ by label boss Omid 16B, this talented producer has several releases under his belt and continues to innovate with a haunting, evolving, almost tribal take on the current house sound. An incessant, engrossing hook leads ever-forward to a deep melodic denouement, whilst Omid on remix duties adds his unique sound to the release – with additional tracks functioning as DJ tools as well as in their own right, this is a well-thought-out and intriguing package that must be heard....

Omid 16B
posted by Egle P
I love music how it can make our emotions flow; how it can change the way we think; the way we love; the way we express ourselves. – Omid 16B Some DJs and producers have their finger on the pulse – Omid 16B is the pulse. Music runs through his veins – DJ Mag Omid Nourizadeh also known as Omid 16B, is a DJ whose passion for cutting edge electronic music is unrivalled. As a DJ and producer, songwriter, musician and label boss, Omid has forged a unique and prolific career as one of the world’s most talented and respected musicians and producers. He’s much regarded as one of the leaders who pioneered the tech house movement back in the early nineties, alongside the likes of Carl Craig, Vince Watson, Craig Richards, Mr C, Steve Bug and Francois K . Growing up in London, with Persian roots, Omid was influenced by the likes of Jimi Hendrix, The Cure, Depeche Mode, RIDE and The Mission. Throughout his teens he became an accomplished musician playing a list of instruments while attending Richmond College and utilising the music rooms at any given chance. “I was supposed to be studying but always missed a lesson or two if the music rooms were free” Omid played his first gig in his home town Putney at the age of sixteen (Vocals/ Guitar), performing with his own band “The Reunion” which continued to play the pub circuit in London for a further two years. In the Early nineties the ‘Acid House Movement’ was turning heads, as was Omid’s enthusiasm to learn more about production and the independence to express one’s self without compromise. Gradually Omid’s tastes became increasingly more electronic based rather than indie rock. In 1994, he made the pivotal...

SEX033: Changing Shape – Always (So Good)/Call Me...
posted by sexonwax
Changing Shape is one of Omid’s aliases that goes back to 98 when Airtight Records was set up by himself and Red Jerry from Hooj. Omid released 3 EPs on vinyl including the critically-acclaimed METAMORPHOSIS EP back in 1998, now remastered, and will be releasing 2 EPs with an LP in 2013. “So Good” is a deep yet uplifting affair with funky disco elements that drive the track and make it versatile enough to drop at any given time. “Call me” is deep house with a flavour to touch peak time and early hours, yet also a head turner with its melodies and constant filter drops and re build. More new material will be added to the Changing Shape LP due out mid...

1. Come On (Original Mix) 2. Come On (Omid’s 4am Killa Edit) 3. Come On (Omid 16B Club Edit) 4. The Look (Original Mix) 5. Break U Down (Original Mix) The “Break U Down EP” is a superb mixture of house and tech-house, featuring three original tracks by Paul Sparkes and two stylish edits by Omid 16B. As Paul says of the EP… “I wanted to, quite simply, produce music that I love to play out in the clubs, tracks which can fit into DJ sets without having to be huge impact tracks, but ones that will simply do the business at the right time. I think I’ve made three tracks that are pitched down, deep and of a high quality. It’s really music by a DJ for other DJs, and I hope this EP will fit into the sets of many different people all over the world.” Paul Sparkes has been DJing for nearly 20 years. A native Brit, he relocated to Amsterdam in 2001 and has been responsible for promoting his own Floorplay parties in the city, bringing in the likes of Omid 16B himself and Danny Howells to play with him. This hard-working individual is all about quality, and thus he fits seamlessly into the SexOnWax label ethos. Paul has previously released tracks such as “Anorok” on Alter Image Recordings from NYC, “Weekender” on Aleph Recordings and also mixed the “11 Years Of Silver Planet Recordings” compilation. Now, in 2012, he has found his true deep house sound with this release on Omid’s SexOnWax Recordings. Starting life in 2002, SexOnWax Recordings is a UK label synonymous with high quality house music. The brainchild of DJ/producer Omid 16B, it has consistently released quality underground electronic music and is always seeking out hidden dancefloor gems.

SEX028: Omid 16B – Paralexia EP
posted by sexonwax
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. Track listing Vinyl: A1: ‘Paralexia’ (Original Vinyl Dub) A2: ‘Bites Without Teeth’ (Vinyl Dub) B1: ‘Lilly and Poppy’ (Original Vinyl Dub) B2: ‘Can’t Deny the Three’ (Original Mix) Track listing Digital: A1: ‘Paralexia’ (Omz Club Dub) A2: ‘Paralexia’ (Original Piano Dub) A3: ‘Bites Without Teeth’ (Omz Club Dub) A4: ‘Bites Without Teeth’ (Late Night Dub) *For the lovers of Bites Without Teeth there will be a tasty vocal mix feat.
