Omar-S is the latest man of mystery from Detroit. His records are low key minimal dirty house music, usually issued only on white label with handwritten info. His love for the music is quite evident from the deep emotional tracks he writes. His music is indebted to tracky Chicago house, dirty Detroit house, and of course Detroit techno. The release of the vinyl of his "Just Ask The Lonely" album is sure to catapault him into the same revered air as Theo Parrish and Kenny Dixon Jr. For me he's already there: I buy double copies of every release he has without listening to them first. Thats some of the highest praise I can give to any artist. I've never been disappointed....
