Notes
All track mixed, added and transformed by DJ Krush.
Oumupo stands for: "Ouvroir de Musique Potentielle" and refers to the Oulipo movement in French literature.
Each release in the series contains a mix composed of selected tracks from the Ici, d'ailleurs & 0101 catalogues + a 16 pages comic strip.
Both the mix and the comics obey rules detailed in a charter included in each release's booklet, and sometimes other constraints requested by the artists themselves.
Constraints -
1) To use the catalogue as a material, and build the whole mix in a re-construction style.
2) To be "a live drummer without drumsticks" throughout the whole mix.
3) To take the "mix CD" to a next level, maintaining the "KRUSHness" to the max.
4) To build a story throughout the mix that anyone could visualize by simply listening through the mix.
5) To maintain a vibe that makes even my own head knodding without knowing it.
