New Ojaco: Head In The Clouds

We’ve been on a bit of a textural kick recently, tickled by music that aims for a sense of feel. Producer Ojaco has long been doing this sort of sound well, and his recently released Head In The Clouds album is one of his strongest collections yet. The trick lies in Ojaco’s ability to mix the dreamy with the tactile, clear from the start on “Vaguely,” which matches fuzzy piano notes and synths up against skittery drum patterns. This pattern repeats later on with “Phantom-Rom,” albeit with more video game tones, but which gets pushed in new directions on harsher cuts such as “Crime And Punishment.” And then there is highlight “communication.zip,” a flat out fun dance number with tropical hints, but is just a joyful little number full of twists and turns. Get it here, or listen below.
