Octo Octa “So Lux”
Octo Octa has always seemed, to me, as a kind of “first among equals” from the 100% Silk stable. His work is silky smooth (pun intended) and is vibrantly engaging, standing out even among the amazingly talented artists who have made the label one of the very best in the last few years. Conjuring up a cosmic dance-floor that has tiles that flash different colors, “So Lux,” from some unspecified upcoming release, brings together all that makes Octo Octa’s work so compelling. The high hats are crisp, the synth’s warm and lucid and the vocals distant and hazy. It is an infectious dance tune that is as heady as it is bombastic. As Saint George Clinton proclaimed, “Free Your Mind and Your Ass Will Follow.”
