Oma Nata returns with his new EP ‘Prayer of the Night’.
Oma Nata’s new EP follows hot off the back of ‘Console’ earlier this year as he makes a welcome return to Discotexas.
Drifting between cultures and places - Portugal, Berlin, and London - Portuguese producer Oma Nata really needs no introduction given his prolific output since his debut ‘Baiana’ released in 2016 on Discotexas imprint Forbidden Cuts, and it’s swift follow up EP’s ‘Alone Together’ and ‘Twisted Luck’. After crossing boundaries in several genres in other musical projects he established the Oma Nata moniker to explore a more moody, vibrant, and exotic sound, and has already established himself as a truly unique artist.
The long-awaited arrival of debut album ‘The Discovery’ was met with rapturous praise, enchanting everybody who heard and indeed discovered it, revealing itself to be an incredible find and giving way to a further three EP’s, ‘Everything’ and ‘Circulate’, both last year, as he remained prolific through to this years ‘Console’ and now ‘Prayer of the Night’ which was as Mário da Motta Veiga (Oma Nata) says:
“Recorded during isolation in Scotland. I had plenty of time to experiment mainly using my analogue gear and synthesizers. I wanted to create something denser and more progressive, with contrast and textures resonating above a techno cadence.”
In keeping with his tendency to portray lives and styles past and present through nostalgic imagined soundtracks and moody choreography. His diverse music style inspired by German techno, UK garage, Ambient, and Soundtracks blended with electronic beat-making, delivers unexpected and sometimes spontaneous releases in response to current life events and emotions which is once again the case this time around.
Delivering on his aforementioned promise, Oma Nata’s new EP presents three wonderfully trippy and inventive House-meets-Techno oddities that boast enough depth and complexity to keep you coming back for more on a pure musical level, as well as the kind of punch and immediacy that will no doubt see them illuminate more than a few small hours dance-floors, with it’s pulsating and often shimmering beats mapping out the way in to an EP which includes all the brilliance we have come to expect from Oma Nata.
