GDNBC welcomes DJ Odi and his new EP that begins with a tune called "Meet Me Halfway".
"Meet Me Halfway" is a bouncy roller that opens with layered drums, an arpeggiated synth line, and a massive 808 Bass that sets the foundation for dreamy female vocals asking the listener to "meet me halfway". The chorus explodes into the body of the track where a reese-bass and mid-range synth enter the fray evolving the tune into an absolute dancefloor stormer. In classic NYC DNB fashion, a halftime breakdown lets the listener rest temporarily until the final drop and ride out to the end. This track is sure to blow up the dancefloor!
On the flip, we have "Luna".
"Luna" is a tribute to a well-loved, mischievous little canine. DJ Odi and his partner Courtney had the enjoyment of caring for Luna until her crossing which was not long before this track was written. Putting on his best classic 90's producer cap, DJ Odi produced "Luna" as an Amen heavy throwback to the days of Moving Shadow, Lucky Spin, and so many GLR tracks that we all know and love.
Melodic elements, strings, and an 808 are the usual suspects that support and swirl around the precisely chopped Amen drums in this tune. Think and other classic break-beats make an appearance as supporting acts, but the Amen kit is the quintessential lead on this track.
For the early morning dancefloor crew and the throwback movement that is in full force today, "Luna" is the one you!
Upon a successful campaign, 'Meet me Halfway', 'Luna', and remixes by legendary artists Danny Styles and E-CJ & Xluther will begin the vinyl pressing process.

DJ Odi is a true stateside Jungle/DNB OG whose involvement in the culture began as a raver in 1992. In 1995, DJ Odi began his residency at Konkrete Jungle NYC. After some time, DJ Odi became the Jungle/DNB vinyl curator at Satellite Records NYC all while playing raves, clubs and otherwise parties in across the NY Tri-State area.
We are pleased to have DJ Odi's music released as GDNBC 002!
