At Fabric Promotions HQ, we are very excited to present to you in Jan '06 Desyn Masiello's best mate and bonafide underground electronic music legend, Omid 16B.
“Some DJs and producers have their finger on the pulse - Omid16B is the pulse. Music runs through his veins.†Lesley Wright, Editor, DJmag
Omid16B lives for music. A true talent on the underground scene, cutting edge dance music is like oxygen for Omid Nourizadeh. A DJ, producer and label owner of Alola, Disclosure and Sexonwax Records, he’s spreading his passion worldwide - from the UK to the USA, from Europe to Asia and Australia.
Fans range from Sasha to Tenaglia, François K to Morales and from Digweed to Danny Howells. Equally important to Omid are his fans on the dance floor. And he turns them on with superb sets that twist and turn from sexy tribal house through to dark, emotive techno - each set morphing to bring out the best in the crowd.
Of Persian roots, Omid’s family immigrated to London when he was just one-year-old. His artistic flair and musical ear developed at an early age - as did his ambition. Influenced by Hendrix, The Cure, Depeche Mode and The Mission, he started playing the guitar at 14, learned how to play drums and bass guitar at 15 and formed his own band when he was 17. Already Omid’s tastes were becoming “more dance than rock, more loops than words, less songs more toonsâ€.
Omid laid the foundations for his own career path and set up Alola Records in 1994. Under his O.R.N moniker, his stunning ‘Snow’ track was picked up by BMG Deconstruction and Omid’s production talents were snapped up by Eye Q, signing his debut album ‘Sounds From Another Room’ (1988). This album was met with critical acclaim and spawned the hit single ‘Water Ride’. Another album followed as $16 Million Dollar Man on Under The Counter before ‘How To Live 100 Years’ followed in 2002 on the respected Hooj Choons label and not to forget a mix compilation for his own label Alola ‘Everything all of them every year’ (2002).
The singles came thick and fast - but quality has always been the name of the game. To date, Omid has remixed great artists from The Cure, Gus Gus, John Creamer and Danny Howells to Halo Varga, Morel, François Kervorkian and Pete Moss. But once again it’s Omid’s skills that come to the force.
Having produced and remixed for many labels, he is also the front man of his band ‘The Idiots’ who have released several singles on Sexonwax and have remixed for other labels as Renaissance and artists as Danny Howells.
This year he got busy getting creative with The End’s Mr C, mixed the first in a series cover mount CD ‘give a way’s’ for DJ magazine, called ‘Face Off’, and released ‘That Look’ on Sexonwax, with vocals by Mr.C
For 2006 there is a Sexonwax mix CD in the pipeline with S.O.S partners Desyn Masiello and DJ Demi and putting the finishing touches on his third artist album… all in 2006, dates tbc.
The dance scene wouldn’t be what it is today without the commitment and passion of people like Omid16B. Whether it’s creating dance floor destroyers or rocking each and every party, Omid16B is the heart and soul of the underground.
After the performance Desyn put on for us in November, we were only too happy to bring Omid over and we are certain you will be too. :grin:

Entry is a bargain $10 on the door, even if you do blow your budget over NYE. See you on the dancefloor!
:cool: :cool:
