Onra finishes this epic trilogy with class as a result of extended record digging across the Far East and the producer’s own development over the preceding 10 years. As a producer who has released records inspired by 80’s Funk, 90’s hip-hop and R’n’B, electronic and even a spiritual Jazz project, “Pt. 3” brings this stylized set to a close.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"All City","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41570768322769,"sku":"6554714743578","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/2866\/0689\/products\/onra-chinoiseries-pt-3-vinyl-lp-6554714743578-all-city-records-good-taste-records-121542.jpg?v=1693245492"},{"product_id":"onra-chinoiseries-pt-2-vinyl-lp","title":"Onra - Chinoiseries Pt. 2 Vinyl LP","description":"\u003cp\u003ePT 2 of Onra’s classic Chinoiseries series, which had him going off digging all over China and Vietnam on a quest for loops..\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e‘Same Same but Different’, the familiar phrase heard throughout south east Asia, a perfect description to characterize Onra’s latest project, a follow up to his 2007 LP – Chinoiseries. So almost five years later, here we go back on the trail of another Asian beat journey with 32 Hip-Hop instrumentals inspired by Chinese and Vietnamese music. A lot has happened in between: The Big Payback with Byron the Aquarius, a beats LP “1.0.8” plus 2010’s acclaimed boogie tinged hip hop LP “Long Distance” while along the way he’s revisited South East Asia on a few occasions adding to his Asian record stack on each occasion. The exotic, mysterious pop and folk Chinese records of the 60s and 70s with their epic operatic and orchestral feel and sealed from the Western counter culture rumblings of the time, not to mention alive with vintage vinyl hiss and crackle, may not seem the easiest source material to work with but after hermetically sealing himself in his Parisian beat cave Onra has come with a more than worthy return for all the time and money spent in the vinyl basements and backrooms of the Far East. There’s ample variation but a coherent whole, from the more electronic feel of “A New Dynasty” and “All Night”, to the soundtrack vibe of “Mai’s Theme” and “Fight Or Die” and the straight beat sound of “No Matter What” and “Remember The Name” and he’s even found some breaks! Inspired by the idea of the LP as a sequence of film scenes this intense burst of beats and distinct vibes form an accomplished rounded full length.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"All City","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41570768355537,"sku":"6554711482104","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/2866\/0689\/products\/onra-chinoiseries-pt-2-vinyl-lp-6554711482104-all-city-records-good-taste-records-763630.jpg?v=1693245492"},{"product_id":"onra-chinoiseries-vinyl-lp","title":"Onra - Chinoiseries Vinyl LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eNow a ’cult classic , repressed for 2023 ears on All City Dublin.

A vinyl junkie at heart, he really couldn’t come back to France without bringing back some wax. After hours spent riding on a motorbike through the streets of Saigon, a taxi finally helped him find some Asian records – he almost felt like an explorer discovering a forgotten treasure.
