16B

Real Name:
Omid Nourizadeh
Profile:
A South Londoner with Persian roots and founder of the London-based record labels Alola (1993), Disclosure (1994) and Sexonwax (2002). At first releasing singles by himself, he then moved on to releases from other artists such as Pete Moss, House of 909, Loudeast, Charles Webster, YMC, Vince Watson, NAV, and Mr C. One of his earliest hits was "Snow" under the alias ORN, which got licensed to BMG and became a club hit. It was followed by his debut artist album "Sounds From Another Room" which was released on the Eye Q label. His mix CD "Everything All Of Them Every Year" and sophomore album "How To Live 100 Years" reached a wider audience still, as he racked up remixes for Gus Gus, The Cure, Steve Lawler, John Creamer and many others. He continues to produce, remix and DJ around the world today.

Brother of Navid Nourizadeh.

"I love music... how it can make our emotions flow
how it can change the way we think
the way we love; the way we express ourselves."
