Le beatmaker parisien Onra , qui était samedi dernier à la Bellevilloise, sort la semaine prochaine Long Distance , nouvel album teinté de disco funk 80's et de beats hip-hop old school. " The One " est le premier extrait de cet album (avec T.3 de Slum Village), dont voici la video qui s'inspire du New York cinématographique des années 80. Réalisé par Donal Thornton.

Parisian beatmaker Onra delivered one of 2007's best efforts Chinoiseries , which chopped up retro Vietnamese pop into jazzy headboppers. His style changed into a more urban electro funk with his later productions, that are more suitable to urban radio - yet don't have the novelty value of his debut. Long Distance his newest one out now on All City is in a similar vein that takes bits of neosoul, disco and bass music into hip-hop. The title track features the vocal work of Olivier Daysoul , who've previously worked with Hudson Mohawke among others. By the [...]

The anthem (30kb ver.) by Article10 Diss1 (me) and Dastardly from 30KB chatting some thoughts on flags, anthems, nationalism, etc. over "The Anthem" by ace Parisian beatmaker Onra . "The Anthem", incidentally, was also remade to feature in a Coca-Cola ad for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, though their vision of global unity seems mainly to involve Yao Ming and LeBron James guiding a load of national stereotypes in a really half-arsed battle before toasting each other with soft drinks. Also, the version of [...]
