On The Floor! - Live at La Bellevilloise - Pt.1

Onra

All City Records, Paris

It ain't hard to tell - when it comes to samples, Onra can chop like Zorro and flip like Daley Thomson. Ever since his Tribute LP with fellow french producer Quetzal caught the ears of DJs like Benji B and Gilles Peterson, Onra has been on a roll, working with labels like Favourite and All City. Along the way his 'Chinoiseries' LP, made from a crate digging expedition to Vietnam, was released to the delight of fans of offbeat hip-hop while his All City Release 'Long Distance' stepped up the pace, offering an exciting piece of boogie drenched post-Dilla MPC magic. With a pace of more than an album a year he's keeping himself incredibly busy, so we're happy there was a chance to record his record release party for 'Long Distance' at La Bellevilloise. Apart from his trusty MPCs he was joined by Buddy Sativa on keys and Weirdata's Walter Mecca.
