ARTISTS

OYOBI are purveyors of global ear candy. Based in Sydney and drawing from their diverse heritages, their sets includes afro-latin, house, broken beat, and nuyorica soul inspired gems. This project is a coming together of very talented and gifted musicians with the aim of creating music that is derived from the sounds heard on their tours around the world. Places such as the carnivals of Brazil, the dingy clubs of Lima, Peru, the street festivals of Colombia, and the electronic sounds of beachside Ibiza, Berlin, and underground warehouse parties of Amsterdam. OYOBI brings this rich experience together in one great musical experience that transports you out of the mundane and spits you into the transcendental experience of deep and raw global sounds. Featuring Vincent Sebastian (drum machines, congas, percussion), Adm Ventoura (bass), & Plinedog (synthesisers) plus their usual array of suspicious guests.

QVLN’s signature, modern roots sound is a musical extension of his American, Mexican, and Brazilian heritage.
As a gifted multi-instrumentalist and performer, QVLN (pronounced Q-Violin) expresses his passions for love, life, and dance with his voice, violin and percussion. Overflowing with creative and cultural curiosity, QVLN is on the road about 200 days a year performing at clubs, festivals, and cultural centers–and for people in remote parts of the world that commercial music bypasses. His dedication to bringing live music to often-neglected communities hasn’t gone unnoticed. In 2015, QVLN had the honor of representing the United States as part of the State Department’s American Music Abroad program, in conjunction with long-time collaborator Oveous and a talented group of musicians who reside in Los Angeles.
QVLN is also an accomplished dancer and capoeirista, which explains how he could pull off this one-take music video for the song Run Like The Wind. With a full calendar of shows and musical collaborations slated for release this year, QVLN represents the best of the independent, artistic spirit making him a creative leader on the world stage.

About Off the Wall:

Released in 1979, Off the Wall was Michael Jackson’s fifth studio album, and the breakthrough that established him as a solo artist. He would go on to dominate the charts for the next decade.

Off the Wall is a landmark record that has disco firmly at its roots – but dance music is by no means its only focus. Working with Quincy Jones, Jackson embraced his newly found creative freedom as a solo artist and departed from his more traditional Motown sound, creating an album that also included soul, pop, soft rock and funk influences. Alongside Jones, the album also featured the talents of some of the finest songwriters and musicians of the era, including Stevie Wonder, Paul McCartney and Rod Temperton.

What is Classic Album Sundays?

Classic Album Sundays is the world’s most popular record club. CAS allows the listener to fully immerse themselves in the music by presenting the musical context, the story behind the album and an uninterrupted replay of the album on vinyl on an audiophile hi-fi sound system (with phones switched off and no conversation). People learn about the history of the album and then hear things in the music that they have never heard before. The events are mainly attended by non-audiophiles who are sometimes moved to tears when they hear the details of their favourite recordings.

CAS currently holds regular classic-album listening sessions in London, New York, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Tokyo, Amsterdam, Oslo and many more cities. As it has touched upon a cultural nerve with its mission of challenging the way we listen to music in the 21st century, CAS has received amazing coverage in BBC Breakfast TV, The Guardian, Elle Magazine, NME, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and more.

Classic Album Sundays was founded by Colleen “Cosmo” Murphy. Murphy is a radio host (having hosted shows since 1982 and having produced widely syndicated radio shows in the USA); an international audiophile DJ (protegé of David Mancuso and Francois Kevorkian and Director of London’s Lucky Cloud Sound System); music producer and remixer (remixes for The Rapture on DFA and producing Wild Rumpus with guitarist Gary Lucas of Captain Beefheart and Jeff Buckley fame); independent label owner (Bitches Brew); and a music journalist. In her younger years, Murphy worked for a number of well-known record shops, where she amassed far too many records.
