Following the release of his sublime Silenciety album last year, dance music pioneer, Omid 16B reveals the first single, ‘Yellow’, from his forthcoming new album release, SunTzu.
Ablaze with all the essential credentials of a classic 16B production, ‘Yellow’ explodes with an addictive positive energy, loaded with emotive celestial melodies that ebb and flow over a buoyant electronic bass groove, underpinned by crafty electro beats.
Listen to the exclusive premiere of ‘Yellow’ from the forthcoming Omid 16B album Suntzu below:
“It sounds like classic 16B, amazing production and I love it!” – Sasha
Also on the package, Omid turns on the 90’s nostalgic charm with his upbeat ‘1997 Remix’ of ’The Three Of Us’, laced with airy synths and indie guitars all set to an old school groove. Closing out this brilliant release with an emotionally charged slab of electronica is Omid’s new blissed-out downtempo ‘Falling Mix’ of ‘Hope’, taken from his ‘Silenciety’ album.
“I wrote ’Yellow’ in 2012 and by 2020 I wasn’t even close to bored of it, this wasn’t something I wanted to rush or release unless the time was right, it’s timeless in my opinion and very colourful, just makes me want to jump up and down with a smile on my face. My colleagues have pressured me to get this out and I’ve finally found the space in my heart to let everyone else hear it” – Omid 16B
