Ossia's sound world is an amalgamation of heavy-weather, beyond-good-and-evil soundsystem poetics, channelling raw and rootical techno, isolationist abstraction, and dub at its most turbulent and raw-nerved and space-time-warping.
Through running a range of record labels and being a member of Bristol’s Young Echo Sound, he has amassed a wide knowledge and in-depth understanding of music that informs his own skewed, futuristic drenched-in-dread aesthetic and his unhinged take on soundsystem music. Channelling tail-thrashing dancehall pressure and art-of-darkness ambience and introspection, Ossia embodies the best tradition of Bristol underground music and has become notorious for bending the rules of genre & club convention.
His live and DJ sets encompass a contemporary and idiosyncratic well of influences, all rattling between moments of suspense and high-powered dancefloor mania in flux.
