The Obsession Project - 4 Track E.P. download free

This record is a nice little time capsule from the early 90's underground dance music scene: a completely faceless release with an unimaginative title, no credits and four straightforward, club friendly and not particularly revolutionary tunes. Yet sixteen years on, while it certainly sounds very much of its time, it's not corny or dated like so much other stuff from the same era. This release incorporates elements of house, techno, breakbeats and even slight progressive house/trance leanings with an unassuming ease that somehow sits very nicely with the record's anonymous nature. And fortunately, it avoids the typical gimmicks and cliched schticks that were prevalent at the time. I've had it confirmed that Norwegian DJ and producer Peer "DJ Wizard" Osmundsvaag was behind this EP. Peer was involved in the house scene from the late 80's onwards, both in the UK and Norway, and he'd later go on to work with D:Ream and become one of the busiest booking agents and promoters up here. He's been less active production-wise, but these little ditties have held up pretty well.
