Various Artists - Om:10, A Decade of Music

(Om Records/Stomp)

Celebrating 10 years of gloriously good sounds comes ‘A Decade of Future Music’; a beautifully presented 3CD compilation that showcases the very best in house and downtempo grooves from independent San Fran label, ‘Om Records’.

For those in need of a little Om 101, OM was founded back in 1995. Built around the idea of creating “future music”, they have, over the past decade produced consistently strong, timeless tracks. Debuting with Mark Farina, their fine roster of artists now includes: Andy Caldwell, Colette, Fred Everything, John Howard, Juan Atkins, Kaskade, King Britt, King Kooba, Miguel Migs, Ming & FS, People Under the Stairs, Rithma and Soulstice.

For avid collectors of Om releases many tracks here will be familiar, but there is, as always, a new mix or rare find flawlessly mixed into each collection. From the best of the best, expect to hear luxurious house rhythms including; ‘Chuck Love – Soul Symphony’, ‘Fred Everything – Studio C’ and ‘Rithma – Let’s Get Slick’. Lazy lo-fi beats; ‘Kaskade – Yeah Right’, ‘Mark Farina – Cali Spaces’, ‘Greenskeepers – Back in the Wild’ and OM classics ‘Blue Boy – Remember Me’, ‘Andy Caldwell – I Can’t Wait’ and ‘Mark Farina – Dream Machine’.

Alluring, elegant and sassy, ‘A Decade of Future Music’ shows why Om are at the heart of underground house music. Its as funky as it is fine, and never fails to hit in all the right places.
