Dr. No's Ehiopium

"Thirty-six hip hop instrumentals inspired by and sampled from rare 60s and 70s Ethiopian soul, jazz, funk, folk and psychedelic rock. Super-producer Oh No follows up his heralded Dr. No's Oxperiment by diving again into Stones Throw and Now-Again label-head Egon's record collection for a region-based instrumental beat album. This time he's offered up an album inspired-by and sampled-from rare 60s and 70s Ethiopian funk, jazz, folk, soul and psychedelic rock. Even if you've never heard an instrument tuned to the qenet modes before, even if you're more into ballads than you are tezetas, Oh No's transformative effect on his source material will blow you away in its otherworldly funkiness. This project is a limited edition release on Oh No's own Disruption Productions imprint."
