15Jan2010

Omar S. is living proof that you can make waves in the music biz today and still keep your soul intact. The Detroit producer and DJ has established his own sound (not quite deep, techno or minimal but a unique blend of all three) that many characterize with the early days of Chicago and Detroit do-it-yourself music, which was less about fitting into a genre than making beats that turned you on.

And he's done it his own way: keeping independent, handling his own releases and maintaining an impeccable reputation for quality releases. Many of his cuts appear to be white labels (sometimes with titles like "002" or "008" and little other information), creating a kind of cult among jocks flipping through the racks. Fed up with distributors, he now deals with record sales himself via omarsdetroit.us - strictly on his own terms.

Omar S. will be playing SmartBar on January 15, 2010, with David Powers.
