- Defected will release the spiritual producer's next, and supposedly last, house album this month.
The next album by Osunlade is called Pyrography, and according to a press release, it will be the producer's final house effort.
Osunlade has always been an eccentric personality: an American expatriate living in Greece, and a devotee of the African tradition known as Ifá, who can often be seen with a long piece of bone jewellery through his nose. As a veteran DJ and producer, and the founder of Yoruba Records, his roots are in house music, though he's shown some very different sides to as style as well, most notably on his more songwriter-inspired album Rebirth from 2009. With Pyrography, he tries to bring these two elements of his sound together. "The whole idea for the album was to do something more electronic as well as include more 'songs'," he says. "Organic meets technology."
Pyrography is named after an ancient style of art, in which images are burned onto canvas using hot pokers or open flame.
