[LIQST3DG] OBVIOUSLY HIGH - Maw Jaw [LIQUID STAIRS]




Who remembers the 'Mistery Tour' by Obviously High from back in 1992? A record which is known off that Beatles sample, renovated in the year of Hardcore through Delirious Recordings. A label which brought into surface amazing records (e.g. 'Rush Hour' by The Moog).

In case you're unaware of it, Andrew Wright is the main man behind this great relentless success of side projects and co-running that label from back then. A man who has done exquisite records under many aliases such as The Moog, Rotor and affiliated with many acts like Justice & Mercy, Thrill Seekers and Obviously High, just to name a few.

The latter is a quintet project from UK, carrying a startling 8bit passion and they just came back with a new album right after 15 years. Why they chose this crazy year to unleash it?
Most likely, because it's a year that has put us all in thoughts, in a kind of retro nostalgia. A time to evoke the right feelings and rise again.
'Maw Jaw' is the answer from this act, dispersed into 11 new tracks mixed up genres from progressive breaks to techno and oldskool bleeps including also a tribute to the late Ben Daglish, legendary composer for Commodore 64 etc.

All in all, this album is a modern approach to the early rave days and the early 90-91 vibes, that is available now to stream and buy on major digital platforms.
