ONRA - Live & DJ set.
@
The Cuckoo Box, Limerick
Saturday 19th of September
Admission is nuthin' but a smile, music from 9pm to 1am.
Support from wax peddlers Peter Curtin and jOhnny dOObs.
Nu Killa soundsystem in effect for the show.
This is a Cheebah/Kerrynini joint, more similar yet different things to follow. Eugh.
Parisian-based Onra is one of the major players in the new wave of upcoming producers à la Flying Lotus, Hudson Mohawke, Bullion and so on. The former Red Bull Music Academy student is a beat-digging, MPC-bashing producer and DJ who looks to the boombap past to sculpt the future funk sounds of tomorrow. His neck snapping electronic hiphop / wobbling schizo beats sit side by side with forays into continental soul and disco, and have been subject to enormous worldwide props from Dublin to LA. 2007s 'Chinoiseries' album rocked a different slant, sampling only the sounds he plucked from some obscure records he uncovered while on holiday in Vietnam and China. The album did big things, the single 'The Anthem' genuinely deserving its title. Anyways, if you don't know… now you know! Onra - A true Parisian bboy who can even make the backpackers dance.
