Omar Ahmad - Inheritance • Remixed
by Tom Ojendyk
Los Angeles-based label AKP Recordings has been on a hot streak recently with several great releases by artists like YAI, Jessica Ackerley, Luke Elliott, and last year’s debut by Omar Ahmad. For this release, the tunes from Ahmad’s wonderful debut, Inheritance, are remixed and reimagined by Ki Oni, Otodojo, Tammy Lakkis, Solpara, and more. The music spans ambient, club, and a variety of other genres, making Inheritance • Remixed work both as a companion piece to his debut and as a stand-alone album. The original pieces are thoughtful and introspective, and the remixes maintain these attributes while also adding the producers' own expressiveness to the music. A very enjoyable release.
