Prince of the beat scene Onra announces his 2011 debut Australian tour for Niche Productions, performing music from his highly lauded previous, and hugely anticipated upcoming projects including November’s ‘Chinoseries 2’, the follow up to the immensely successful 2010 record ‘Long Distance.’
At once lush and exhilarating, Onra’s music is a stylistic navigation through a myriad of decades and genres – the beat blender melting up Chinese funk, naughties nu-disco, gully street hip-hop sounds and 80s pop - to create beautifully addictive tune after tune, winning fans and breaking hearts with each broken beat:
‘Warm and luxurious… Beats ebb and flow with irregularity, always staying present but choosing to smack against your eardrums with varying levels of force… conveying images of fire hydrants, street fairs, and melted popsicles’ Pitchfork 8.0/10
Born and based in Paris, France, Onra (or Arnaud Bernaud, as he is less well-known) first appeared on his producer friend Quetzal’s 2006 collab-album Tribute. Since then the Red Bull Music Academy attendee has had the internet buzzing over several releases which see the producer skilfullly manoeuvre through a myriad of influences. His ‘Chinoiseries 2’ album, set to drop in November on All City, is being waited upon with bated breath and it’s not hard to see why – Onra’s keen engagement with the a la mode of current beat music set to the backdrop of the rhythms and dynamism of hip hop has been, and no doubt will again be a surefire winner.
