Unbeknownest to the London massive, deep within the English countryside
lie a number of brilliant music producers. One such unfashionable
but extremely talented artist is Ott, best friend of Simon Posford
(aka HALLUCINOGEN) and previous editor of the Shpongle albums. Ott
is a our very own country computer wizard working only at unsensible
hours of the day, constantly connected to the internet, downloading
every knowngadget and plug in possible and communicating online
with the outer world. So legendary are his skills and his massive
dubs that Simon has commissioned him to do a remix album of classic
Hallucinogen tracks such as Gamma Goblins, Solstice, Angelic Particles,
& LSD amongst others.
Ott and Simon first met at Butterfly Studios wereOtt was
working as freelance engineer for Youth. Since then he has gone
on to work in nearly every famous studio one could name, from SARM
East and West, Real World, and Ridge Farm to name a few. He is currently
managed by Strongroom Management UK and has continued to work with
a number of famous artists and producers in music business, including
Sinead O'Connor, The Orb, and Brian Eno for which he was interviewed
in Sound on Sound Magazine. So as you can see Ott is the master
of ceremonies when it comes to studio equipment and production.
He has had several releases over the years as trance act - ECO -
on labels such as TIP, Dragonfly, and Matsuri, but has essentially
stayed a freelance whore until now. With a spate of new material
he is set to become a modern dub pioneer reshaping the already classic
soundscapes of Hallucinogen's music with his studio trickery and
plug-wizardry. The timelessness of some of the tracks listed below
for remix is in many cases beyond description and as such the only
person deserving of remix duties is this man, Ott.
