Osborne's "Osborne" is a celebration of all that is good in American house and techno music: past, present and future.
There are lots of stories about DJ and producer Todd Osborn (no e,
mind you). They are, unfortunately for your ego and ours, all true.
Our
lego-sculpting, electron microscope-owning, Japanese speaking
über-producer puts this joy of life and the art of making into his
music. Todd fixes and flies planes, has fabricated a video game kiosk
out of hospital equipment, and is finishing his hovercraft as we write
this. We could call him house music's Macguyver, but that would be
obvious. I guess we just did.
The original title of
this album was to be "Multitasking", an ode to both the various styles
on display, but also a nod to the man himself. Like a personal
sketchbook of Todd's musical history, the album evokes the sensation of
an electronic yesteryear, where dance music production was treated with
a wide-eyed sense of discovery.
