about

Here is the "Ollie / Willie" EP, a dynamic two-track house music EP that draws inspiration from the skateboard community. As the "Ollie" is the most basic trick you learn on the skateboard, sampling is among the basic techniques defining house music vocabulary. Crafted with hardware synthesizers, samplers, and effects, the EP emanates a lo-fi, raw, and authentic feeling.

"Ollie" is a groove-laden piece born from the manipulation of a Rhodes piano loop. It was layered with other synth sounds to create the track's foundation. As the loop unfolds, additional elements join the mix—vocals, bass, and drums, all topped with a nice 303 line. The result? A deep, lo-fi, and groovy track.

"Willie" takes on a more energetic vibe. At its core is the sound of an OB-6, renowned for its lush tones but here delivering a gritty dub, '90s vibe that weaves effortlessly between the beats. Supporting this core are ethereal pads and piano lines, crafting an atmospheric backdrop that elevates the track's energy. The vocals, processed with filters, saturators, delay, and reverb, add an additional layer of mood and depth.

Both tracks showcase a meticulous blend of hardware sounds. Drums, courtesy of a Jomox 888 (a modern homage to the classic Roland 808 drum machine), are processed through outboard effect processors. The bass, from a Moog Minitaur, provides that classic round and full sound, while synth sounds come from a Nord Lead 2X and the OB-6. Fairfield Circuitry and Eventide effect pedals add the finishing touches, enriching the sonic palette. Finally, Elysia 500 modules take center stage on the mix and master bus, glueing the elements together.
