Baltra – オメガ (2017)

Baltra is a deep house artist from New York, and an オメガ (appears) to be a single-tracked EP with very little information available about it (it is even missing from the artist’s Bandcamp page, as well as having no listing on Discogs, whose users are usually on the ball with this type of shit). (2020 edit: appears to have been eventually released as part of this a year later: https://www.discogs.com/Baltra-Cant-Explain-It/release/12586745)

オメガ (translating simply to Omega) offers a pleasing meeting of styles; the hypnotic development and repetition of the deep house beats is married exquisitely with the aching, nostalgic melodies of vaporwave. There is an overall lo-fi vibe to the sound too, which melds the whole thing together perfectly as a whole.

There’s only so much I can say about one track, so instead please listen 😀
