send me your love

the latest lp from french beat maker onra is released on all city records who have been killing it of late despite being in the perhaps suprising location of northern ireland - not normally the place you associate with experimental contemporary hip-hop. the miami-vice artwork sets the scene for a refreshing blend of '80s electro and '90s hip-hop. the parisian has emersed himself into a distinct new avenue of sound, a break away from the more chopped-up dusty vinyl sound of 'chinioseries'. you can hear elements of prince or vandross, but at the same time its forward-thinking irony keeps the record instep with the likes of flying lotus or hudson mohawke. this blend of electro-soul suitable for the disco floor takes you right back to '80s miami. buy the album here.


onra - send me your love
