Futuristic Psychedelia Meets Robot Raves in O'Bergh's "Future World"

New electronic dance album explores an intriguing world of sound both familiar and strange
By: Timescape Music
WASHINGTON - April 14, 2016 - PRLog -- Welcome to the future, a world of extraterrestrials, androids, nutty neighbors, and raging dance beats from minimal house to tropical lounge. Including both re-worked material from previous releases and freshly minted tracks, the eleven dance mixes on Jon O'Bergh's "Future World" burst with energy and creativity.

Among the album's highlights is "Time Travel (Warp Factor Mix)," a progressive house track that builds with intensity. "Starlight Express (Midnight Mix)" features singer Andre Akinyele with a seductive take on love in some future century. Tribal beats and a cyborg-molded voice populate "Do Androids Dream (Tropo-Electro Mix)." "Euphoric Nights of Future Past (Mega-Trance Mix)" introduces hypnotic rhythms and mysterious voices. The tongue-in-cheek "Noises Off (High Octane Mix)" is filled with driving rhythms that underscore the raucous world plaguing a nutty neighbor who only wants quiet and a cocktail.

Why the headlong leap into electronic dance music for this stylistically diverse artist who has written music ranging from jazz to spoken word to world beat? O'Bergh says he wanted to create an album that captured the energy and imagination of sci-fi, and house music was the perfect vehicle. "I was also inspired by artists like &Me, Kolsch, Miguel Migs, and Kraftwerk," he says, "and their creativity with technology and sound." The music draws on multiple influences: progressive house, lounge, tribal house, trance, psychedelia. The blend of unusual voices and ear-catching effects suggests a future world both familiar and strange.

The album is available at iTunes, Amazon, and CD Baby, as well as through most streaming services.
