ol' burger beats: out of sight, out of mind
Francisco Espregueira
While working on his latest album - the magnificent Mind Games -, Ol' Burger Beats left behind some golden beats, songs and remixes. They deserve to be listened after all. Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind is, like Mind Games, a work of art. It's infused by some of the best jazz and soul music samples out there, creating a very special setting when it's played. It's dark and conscious. Made for late conversations between cigarettes and wine glasses. In black and white film.
A selection of beats, songs and remixes that were excluded from the album for various reasons, and eventually forgotten. When revisiting his archives, Ole figured that some of these tracks could be mean something for the public, that previously had heavily demanded the release of the instrumentals behind Mind Games. The 40 minute compilation of Out of Sight, Out of Mind contains 20 unreleased beats and unheard verses by Oliver The 2nd and Illa J, plus remixes featuring Jeremiah Jae, Chester Watson, Kent Loon, Ivan Ave and Quelle Chris.
We call our readers to focus on the work of this brilliant producer. Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind, out of Mind Games sessions is available in vinyl.
“That is the mind boggling, time traveling magic of beats. Pieces of sound, from different times and places, sometimes appear to be made for each other”
