Oh No: Dr. No's Oxperiment
by noteworthy at 11:34 pm EDT, Aug 8, 2007

I am digging this right now.

Oh No concocts 30 brand new beats, continuing Stones Throw's acclaimed series of instrumental hip-hop albums (following J Dilla Donuts and Madlib's Beat Konducta). For this latest Oxperiment, Oxnard, CA-based Dr. No researches raw and rare psych from Turkey, Lebanon, Greece and Italy to formulate his antidote to wack samples and played-out loops.

All Music Guide calls it "a kind of warm, nearly-poppy, guitar-filled trip into Middle Eastern chants, tight bass grooves, and drums that hover beneath the surface."

They go on:

Dr. No's Oxperiment is a beat album, that much is sure, but it's more than that, it's more than music for the obsessed crate digger. It's rich and vibrant, like a marketplace, crates of oranges and nuts and olives sitting in the shade, the sound of vendors hacking their wares, everything necessary to the proceedings around it, a perfectly orchestrated expedition into an exotic landscape that somehow, at the same time, feels very, very familiar, all of which makes the record an exciting and very satisfying listen.
